I was kindly informed off-list about my mistake here. I wrote that ZWNJ suggests cursive or ligature joining, but I meant that it _prevents_ such joining, as its name suggests. The zero width joiner ZWJ suggests joining. In any case, both of these are meant to affect typographic joining of characters. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
