I did my own tests in word 2010 with Windows 7. Although U+FEFF and U+2060 displayed differently when I enabled the display of 'non-printing' characters (spaces, inactive soft hyphens, non-breaking hyphens, paragraph ends etc.), the behaved the same when embedded in French l'eau and Thai กก - they changed each word to two words, as detected by ctrl/rt-arrow. However, this is wrong. >> No, this doesn't work. Clarification: It doesn't work in correct software. Correct software would have treated the modified words as single words. Richard.
