U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT is a printable character, it MUST NOT be ignored. Not only is it one of the characters which can be used as a bullet in unnumbered lists, it is also used in Catalan to differentiate the "geminated L", l·l as in col·lega "colleague" from the "palatalized L", ll as in lleidatà (relating to, or living in, the town Lleida, whose Castilian name used to be Lérida). If we must use a zero-width word separator, let's use a character made for that purpose, for instance U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE. That character exists in UTF-8 of course, but also in GB18030, which is IIUC a "China-centered" encoding which can encode any Unicode codepoint and is (again, IIUC) required to be supported on all new software sold in mainland China.
