It's worth noting that last time I tried, you can't use this character to tweet a seemingly blank tweet. Twitter correctly disallows this as it would if you tried to tweet a normal space character and nothing else. However, there are plenty of other non-printing unicode characters that you can still use to tweet a seemingly empty tweet.
Hacker News also disallows this in its comments. YMMV with other non-printing characters.

- yardshop 7y agoYou can actually enter the character in this textbox, but they probably strip it out when posting.
- Lowkeyloki 7y agoIt's definitely done on the backend with Twitter. Probably HN, too.
