@dgp1130 You'd have much better luck asking the Unicode Consortium for that.

However, have you considered a zero-width space? The [relevant CSS spec](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-4/#white-space) explicitly only counts ASCII whitespace (U+0009, U+000A, U+0020, and indirectly U+000D in HTML due to CRLF normalization) as whitespace it can collapse. It doesn't collapse any other code point in Unicode category Zs. So you *may* be able to get away with using `&#x200B;`/`&#8203;`/`&ZeroWidthSpace;` as your `&ncsp;`.
