U+200B has the distinct advantage of being a character, and therefore readily travelling with the words it separates.
Granted, but it’s still a character that the rendering software needs to know and support in order to have the desired effect. As I mentioned, some legacy software try to render it as a graphic character, with poor results. In contrast, in HTML, the <wbr> tag is safe in the sense that when it does not work (some modern browser have oddities in this respect), it gets ignored
It's quite a useful character when dealing with inadequate or non-existent dictionaries for languages that don't have visible separators between words or, depending on line-breaking practice, syllables.
That is correct. Yet, it needs to be supported by the relevant software. Yucca _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
