Word joiner

The word joiner (WJ) is a code point in Unicode used to indicate that word separation should not occur at a position, when using scripts that do not use explicit spacing. It is encoded since Unicode version 3.2 (released in 2002) as U+2060 WORD JOINER (HTML ). The word joiner does not produce any space, and prohibits a line break at its position.
The word joiner replaces the zero-width no-break space (ZWNBSP), a deprecated use of the Unicode character at code point U+FEFF. Character U+FEFF is intended for use as a Byte Order Mark at the start of a file. However, if encountered elsewhere it should, according to Unicode, be treated as a "zero-width non-breaking space." The deliberate use of U+FEFF for this purpose is deprecated as of Unicode 3.2, with the word joiner strongly preferred.
The HTML is & # 8 2 8 8 ; I've tried it on my Sony T3, and it works. It will take me a few days to finish the ebook I'm working on, and then I'll use calibre to produce an AZW3 version and will report whether it works on my Kindle and on the other readers I use.

Hi Alex;
Using the character & #8288; and the css property "display: inline-block" are not mutually exclusive solutions but complementary. Suppose you want to stick together a complete word (or two words); how would you do that by using the character & #8288;? You would have to use/add that char for each letter or the word. In those cases, it easier to use the property "display: inline-block".
