Re: [i18n-discuss] Use of ZWJ

ZWJ may indeed appear either before or after a letter.  When placed 
between two letters that normally do not connect, it attempts to 
create a ligature between them, though this may fail if there is no 
such ligature.  In an Arabic or Syriac or similar context, 
space+letter+ZWJ+space will produce a left-joined form, 
space+ZWJ+letter+space will produce a right-joined form, and 
space+ZWJ+letter+ZWJ+space will produce a double-joined form, all of 
them physically isolated from other letters by spaces (which is what 
you need when talking about specific forms with examples), always 
providing such joined forms actually exist.
