Shortcut

{{zwj}}

The template {{zero width joiner}} inserts the code &zwj;, producing a Error using {{unichar}}: Input "200D" is not a hexadecimal value. 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
^{[citation needed]}

Inserting {{zero width joiner}} between the text and the tag produces instead:

A zero width joiner‍^{[citation needed]}

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This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2.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