So I just confirmed with some farther testing that spacebefore considers a
zero-width space as "spacebefore" so my rule will be false.
Is the only way to proceed then a java rule? Or is there some way I can
add an exception to "spacebefore" to be all spaces except a zero-width
space (U+200B)?
The reason is in Khmer there are certain conjunctions that should always
have a "Real" space before them, not just a zero-width space, so I am
trying to create a rule to detect this.
Thanks,
Nathan
