Zero Width Joiner (U+200D) character Copy and Paste
The Zero Width Joiner (U+200D) is an invisible Unicode control character that causes adjacent characters to join together without adding any visible space. It plays a critical role in how text is rendered, especially in scripts and symbols where character combination is required.
One of the most common uses of the Zero Width Joiner is in emoji sequences, where it joins multiple emoji characters into a single combined symbol. It is also used in complex writing systems to control ligatures and character shaping.
