#27: do we need to say anything special about ZWNJ and ZWJ?
Comment (by duerst@…):
ZWNJ is Zero Width Non-Joiner, preventing ligatures and similar stuff. ZWJ
is Zero Width Joiner, suggesting or forcing ligatures. They are invisible
in many contexts, but are important in Persian (Farsi) and some Indic
languages (Malayalam,...).
IDNA 2003 removed them, but IDNA 2008 allows them based on context and
with the expectation that registries will be careful about allowing them
only in those circumstances where they really make a difference.
