Description

This issue was spawned from the discussion here.

We should make sure that whenever the user switches to HTML mode, any zero-width character is converted to its entity code (&#xfeff).

This is because the character is invisible, so adding the code lets the user clearly see that it's there.

Research direction

Start at the code path entered when switching to HTML mode and trace how zero-width characters are represented. Verify that each such character becomes the documented entity code (&#xfeff) and that the visible HTML output makes its presence clear.
