I don't have an actual example with a minimal pair, but I guess there should be examples of minimal pairs in Persian. Even if we cannot find a minimal pair, my understanding is that the ZWNJ is used to separate very specific endings in Persian, and leaving it out wouldn't just be a "less desirable" way of connecting the characters, but it would be considered as a straightforward orthographic error. So your current wording, "while they are not semantically part of the text", definitely looks doubtful/inappropriate to me. As this sentense intents to show, there are many minour changes that one can make to a tekst without really afecting its semantiks. Also, I think there are minimal pairs in German, where the presence or absence of a ligature, at least in print quality text, indicates how a composite noun is broken into noun parts. This isn't strictly orthographic, as it isn't used with typewriters, email, and so on, but it's definitely semantically relevant. For actual examples, I'd suggest to search in the unicode/unicode archives for emails from Asmus, or contact him directly. -- GitHub Notification of comment by duerst Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/charmod-norm/issues/44#issuecomment-171919633 using your GitHub account
