What mechanisms does ODF have to indicate that a sequence of word characters constitutes a word?
Having such a mechanism is useful for spell-checking Thai and other languages where the boundaries between words are not marked. At present, one can cancel spurious boundaries by inserting U+2060 WORD JOINER. Words formed thus can be entered in personal spelling dictionaries. This is the only mechanism I am aware of. However, it is currently intended (announcement to private Unicore list only) to modify the Unicode Standard for Version 8.00 this month to state that U+2060 should not have have any effect on determining word boundaries; its function will merely be to suppress line breaks. I view this as a kick in the teeth of users of languages such as Thai, but so far I am the only one to have responded. The only work around I can see is to add a word joining character (e.g U+2065) to Unicode and hope that LibreOffice supports U+2060 as a word-joining character until the new character becomes available.
