Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Micro seems to replace some special or invisible characters with spaces
Specifications
In Persian and other languages we have many invisible characters, for example:
u+200c
u+200d
u+200e
u+200f
But when we use this character in the micro editor, a space is displayed instead.
Everything is fine in the output file and there is no problem. But displaying text in the editor is confusing
You can try the following examples.
4 characters: slam
12 characters: slam
slam in Persian is the same as hello
I expect both of these expressions to be the same but displayed in micro in "sl am" form.
thank you

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. First reproduce the examples in micro 2.0.9 on Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME Terminal, then trace how the editor renders U+200C, U+200D, U+200E, and U+200F; done means these characters display distinctly from spaces while the output file remains unchanged.
