Word Joiner
The word joiner (WJ) is a Unicode format character (computing), character which is used to indicate that line breaking should not occur at its position. It does not affect the formation of Ligature (writing), ligatures or cursive joining and is ignored for the purpose of text segmentation. It is encoded since Unicode version 3.2 (released in 2002) as . The word joiner replaces the ''zero-width no-break space'' (''ZWNBSP'', U+FEFF), as a usage of the no-break space of zero width. The ''ZWNBSP'' is originally and currently used as the byte order mark (BOM) at the start of a file. However, if encountered elsewhere, it should, according to Unicode, be treated as a word joiner, a non-breaking space, no-break space of zero width. The deliberate use of U+FEFF for this purpose is deprecated as of Unicode 3.2, with the ''word joiner'' strongly preferred. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
