ASCII Character
Zero width joinerASCII character zero width joiner is a non-printing character.
The zero-width joiner (ZWJ, /zwɪdʒ/)[1] is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of writing systems in which the shape or positioning of a grapheme depends on its relation to other graphemes (complex scripts), such as the Arabic script or any Indic script. Sometimes the Roman script is to be counted as complex, e.g. when using a Fraktur typeface. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms.
