Sorry. I mean such an invisible character that would keep those letters toghether, even when the inter-character space is expanded, like as if they were in the same "lead type". (The same thing I'd use decompose U+0133 into i+THING+j.) What Unicode character should be used for this, then? > The ZWJ may be used to request a ligature between two characters, Isn't this the role of CGJ (combining grapheme joiner)? �Indicates that the adjoining characters are to be treated as a graphemic unit.� > For example, before the introduction of the euro, most European > currencies did not have a unique symbol, but were spelled out by a > string containing an abbreviation of the name of the currency.

In Portugal, f.i., we used U+0024 as the *decimal point* with two fixed decimal digits (though lately there were no valid coins bellow 1$00), but money sums were sometimes identifed by "Esc."; more so when the proper decimal point symbol was not avaliable. -- ____.
