That split that can happen between quotes or other characters drives me crazy as well while reading. Yes, it should work that the software doesn't allow the split between certain characters, but it just doesn't work that way.
I finally gave in and put the no-break space between the " and ' and between the em-dash and quotes or ellipse and quotes. From feedback from others looking at the text, most agreed that
“ ‘Sentence example’ ”
looked better and easier to read than nesting the quotes to avoid
“‘Sentence example’”.
And I had to agree after looking at them while reading often enough.
I'll have to give the character U+2060 a try next time and see how that turns out. While adding the no-break space between them might not be a perfect solution, it always avoids splitting it between 2 lines (at least on my 2 readers), so I just consider it the lesser of the two evils and go with it.
