Template:Zero width joiner

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

The template {{zwj}} inserts the code ‍, producing a U+200D Zero-width joiner (HTML ‍ · ‍) 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 {{zwj}} between the text and the tag produces instead:

something that needs a citation‍

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This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2.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