The text in that section states about ZWJ/ZWNJ " Their original use was to control ligature formation—either preventing the formation of undesirable ligatures or encouraging the formation of desirable ones." This is not in accordance with the history. They got **_started_** as "join controls" for Arabic, where, for example in Persian, they are needed to control joining that affects the way a word is read (meaning). They were later generalized to allow breaking (ZWNJ) or requesting (ZWJ) ligatures and also to affect conjunct formation in Indic scripts. -- GitHub Notification of comment by asmusf Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues/117#issuecomment-275885015 using your GitHub account
