  Thank you! I appreciate it.

  It feels like you're trying to make a point on that site but I cannot fathom out what that point was. Are you saying zero width spaces are bad? Are you educating people that they exist? It's not all too clear what your point is. Also I disagree with the following: > If you're working on a website there's a good chance that someone will want to copy/paste it, automate using it, etc. Zero-width spaces will create no end of hassle to those people. I could work around that with literally just 1 line of code: newString = replace(originalString, "​", " ") But these days many HTML parsers will tidy up the output for you so depending on the frameworks you're using, you might not even need to use the above line of code.

It's up to you to decide what to do with that information. > newString = replace(originalString, "​", " ") If I could have registered "zerowidth.character" I would have. You've got to handle different characters and such. I should say that the site is mainly a joke because we had to use a particular tool which had a bunch of zero width spaces in it, and it got on our nerves.

I thought it was focused on one specific type of zero width character > I should say that the site is mainly a joke because we had to use a particular tool which had a bunch of zero width spaces in it, and it got on our nerves. That's fair enough. :)
