The text on justification and ZWSP in TUS is on p872, in Volume 23. I see no difference in behaviour between ZWSP and soft hyphen for justification; if the line-break opportunity is not taken, then both characters are simply ignored; justification behaves as though they were not present. The issue seems to be mentioned for ZWSP because someone once thought that ZWSP suppressed the expansion of inter-character spacing. A rendering difference between ZWSP and soft hyphen is that when the line break opportunity is taken, a soft hyphen has hyphenation effects, such as the appearance of a hyphen and changes in spelling. (Some varieties of Thai use hyphenation with hyphens.) Another difference is that ZWSP marks a word boundary whereas a soft hyphen has no such effect; this matters for spell checkers. -- GitHub Notification of comment by Richard57 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3861#issuecomment-486031629 using your GitHub account
