mongolian vowel separator	U+180E	6158	᠎	style="background:#9EFF9E;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-yes"\|Yes	style="background:#FFC7C7;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-no"\|No	Mongolian	Mongolian	Other, Format	MVS. A narrow space character, used in Mongolian to cause the final two characters of a word to take on different shapes.^[5] It is no longer classified as space character (i.e. in Zs category) in Unicode 6.3.0, even though it was in previous versions of the standard.
zero width space	U+200B	8203		style="background:#9EFF9E;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-yes"\|Yes	style="background:#FFC7C7;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-no"\|No	?	General Punctuation	Other, Format	ZWSP, zero-width space. Used to indicate word boundaries to text processing systems when using scripts that do not use explicit spacing. It is similar to the soft hyphen, with the difference that the latter is used to indicate syllable boundaries, and should display a visible hyphen when the line breaks at it. HTML/XML named entity: `&ZeroWidthSpace;`^[6]^{[lower-alpha 3]}
zero width non-joiner	U+200C	8204	‌	style="background:#9EFF9E;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-yes"\|Yes	style="background:#FFB;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center; " class="table-partial"\|Context-dependent^[11]	?	General Punctuation	Other, Format	ZWNJ, zero-width non-joiner. When placed between two characters that would otherwise be connected, a ZWNJ causes them to be printed in their final and initial forms, respectively. HTML/XML named entity: `&zwnj;`
zero width joiner	U+200D	8205	‍	style="background:#9EFF9E;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-yes"\|Yes	style="background:#FFB;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center; " class="table-partial"\|Context-dependent^[12]	?	General Punctuation	Other, Format	ZWJ, zero-width joiner. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. Can also be used to display joining forms in isolation. Depending on whether a ligature or conjunct is expected by default, can either induce (as in emoji and in Sinhala) or suppress (as in Devanagari) substitution with a single glyph, whilst still permitting use of individual joining forms (unlike ZWNJ). HTML/XML named entity: `&zwj;`
word joiner	U+2060	8288	⁠	style="background:#FFC7C7;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-no"\|No	style="background:#FFC7C7;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-no"\|No	?	General Punctuation	Other, Format	WJ, word joiner. Similar to U+200B, but not a point at which a line may be broken. HTML/XML named entity: `&NoBreak;`
zero width non-breaking space	U+FEFF	65279		style="background:#FFC7C7;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-no"\|No	style="background:#FFC7C7;vertical-align:middle;text-align:center;" class="table-no"\|No	?	Arabic Presentation Forms-B	Other, Format	Zero-width non-breaking space. Used primarily as a Byte Order Mark. Use as an indication of non-breaking is deprecated as of Unicode 3.2; see U+2060 instead.
