Zero-width Joiner
The zero-width joiner (ZWJ, ; rendered: ; HTML entity: or ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of writing systems in which the shape or positioning of a grapheme depends on its relation to other graphemes (complex scripts), such as the Arabic script or any Indic script. Sometimes the Latin script, Roman script is to be counted as complex, e.g. when using a Fraktur typeface. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. The exact behaviour of the ZWJ varies depending on whether the use of a conjunct consonant or ligature (where multiple characters are shown with a single glyph) is expected by default; for instance, it suppresses the use of conjuncts in Devanagari (whilst still allowing the use of the individual joining form of a dead consonant, as opposed to a halant form as would be required by the zero-width non-joiner), but induces the use of Sinhala script#Cons ...

Zero-width Non-joiner
The zero-width non-joiner (ZWNJ, ; rendered: ; HTML entity: or ) is a non-printing character used in the computerization of writing systems that make use of Typographic ligature, ligatures. For example, in writing systems that feature initial, medial and final letter-forms, such as the Persian alphabet, when a ZWNJ is placed between two characters that would otherwise be joined into a ligature, it instead prevents the ligature and causes them to be printed in their final and initial forms, respectively. This is also an effect of a Space (punctuation), space character, but a ZWNJ is used when it is desirable to keep the characters closer together or to connect a word with its morpheme. The ZWNJ is encoded in Unicode as . Use of ZWNJ for correct typography In certain languages, the ZWNJ is necessary for unambiguously specifying the correct typographic form of a character sequence. The picture shows how the code looks when it is ''rendered'' correctly, and in every row the cor ...

Zero-width Space
The zero-width space (rendered: ; HTML entity: or ), abbreviated ZWSP, is a control character, non-printing character used in computerized typesetting to indicate where the word boundaries are, without actually displaying a visible space in the rendered text. This enables text-processing systems for scripts that do not use explicit spacing to recognize where word boundaries are for the purpose of handling line wrap and word wrap, line breaks appropriately. The zero-width space is Unicode character U+200B, and is located in the Unicode General Punctuation block. In HTML, it can be represented by the character entity reference . Purpose The zero-width space marks a potential line break without syllabification, hyphenation. Its semantics and HyperText Markup Language, HTML implementation are similar to the soft hyphen, but soft hyphens display a hyphen character at the point where the line is broken. The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible ...
