This is the zero width joiner em dash zero width non joiner template; it renders like this (without the quote marks): "—"
It works similarly to the HTML markup sequence ‍—‌ i.e. a zero-width joiner (which will not line-break and will not collapse together with words that come before the template), a long dash (known as an em dash), and a zero-width non-joiner (which will line-break and will collapse together with words that come after the template). In essence, it is an em dash that will not break on the left side but will break on the right side if needed.
The recommended usage is to use no space before the template and no space after the template, like this:
- He had three sons{{zero width joiner em dash zero width non joiner}}Jack, Tony, and Hector
- This will render no spaces on each side of the em dash, like this:
- He had three sonsढाँचा:NsmdnsJack, Tony, and Hector
- A line break will not come before one of the dashes but a line break may come after one of the dashes as rendered here:
- We went to the store—but not the normal way—
- we headed north—instead of south.
The template is used to conjoin words with an em dash but with a zero width joiner before the em dash and a zero width non-joiner after the em dash.
