Template:Zero width joiner
More actions
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 {{non-breaking space}} except that it 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
Template:Fake citation needed
Inserting {{zero width joiner}} between the text and the tag produces instead:
- A zero width joinerTemplate:Fake citation needed
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This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2.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.
