Yeah, well I just tested it. The invisible unicode entity is invisible in Edit Book. I guess only visible characters get yellow highlights (  for example) and invisible ones are not shown at all. I guess that makes sense as well. I didn't bother checking in Sigil because I already know for sure it would be hidden.

You can tell by using the arrow keys to move through the text, paying particular attention to misspelled words (since hyphens where they don't belong are correctly marked as misspelled) and Edit Book will show in the bottom right corner which character is to the right of the cursor.

tl;dr your regex needs to check for U+00AD interspersed at total random.
