History
This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2. Though Unicode suggests a Word Joiner instead, zero-width joiner does practically the same thing and better matches the already-existing {{Zwnj }}. An alternative is to simply use the HTML code‍
