Unicode should not have invisible characters.
- dotancohen 9y agoThen how would you indicate that a space or newline is intended? Or how would I indicate that a length of text is to be displayed from right to left when I post Hebrew text to an English-expecting text field?

They aren't invisible, you can see the result as spaces and the next line. > how would I indicate that a length of text is to be displayed from right to left when I post Hebrew text to an English-expecting text field? That is also a visible effect.
- megaremote 9y agoNope, not always. Try putting a newline in HTML, it is ignored.
- colejohnson66 9y agoTo be fair, that’s because HTML is a descendent of SGML
- skookumchuck 9y ago> ignored Not exactly, it still serves as a word separator. Like the newline (not a space) I put between "word" and "separator".
- cromulent 9y agoThen how would you enter a ZWNJ - for example to correctly indicate that the ligatures should not cross the morpheme boundaries?
- skookumchuck 9y agoI would make a morpheme ligature such as æ a separate code unit. Oh wait, it already is!
