Description
Hello,
I suggest using some sort of marker for special Unicode chars such as thinspaces and other non standard spaces, zero width joiners and such things. I think in a coding font every char should be visible (so you know that they are there). I guess even a code such as ZWNJ for x200c for example would work.
Regards,
Valentin
