Are all unicode characters HTML? Asking for zero-width space
by RandomTroll from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6Q1M2)
lynx doesn't render the zero-width space, which is x200b in unicode, so I added it. When I recommended patching lynx to do this, the maintainer told me it isn't in RFC2070, which it isn't. I don't know that it's exhaustive, also don't know an alternative authority.
I don't mind patching lynx myself, so it isn't a big deal, but I am interested in whether there's an authority for this as HTML.
zero-width space is used to render the writing of languages that don't put spaces between their words, so typesetters know where to break for a line. Some modern languages do this. A lot of old Latin and Greek is rendered without spaces, especially when chiseled into stone.
