Template:Zero Width Joiner
The template {{zero width joiner}} inserts the code
‍
, producing a U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER (‍) in the rendered wiki-page. This invisibly 'sews together' two words as if they were a single word, preventing their separation at line breaks. It acts as a {{no-break space}}
except is immaterial and does not display on the page.
Usage
This template can be used, for example, to prevent text to wrap as in:
- something that needs a citation
Inserting {{zero width joiner}}
between the text and the tag produces instead:
- A zero width joiner
History
This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2. Though Unicode suggests a Word Joiner instead, zero-width joiner does practically the same thing and better matches the already-existing {{zwnj}}. An alternative is to simply use the HTML code ‍
in wikimarkup.
