Template:Zero width joiner/doc

The template zero width joiner inserts the code &zwj;, producing a 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  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  between the text and the tag produces instead:


 * A zero width joiner&zwj;

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This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2.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 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 &zwj; in wikimarkup.
