Wordprocessors that use it to indicate good points for line breaks inside of longer words.

AFAIK, you even can use this to insert the footprint of your authorship in any copied text from your site coded with these. Luckily, it doesn't stop anyone with proper text editor to cut "ZERO WIDTH SPACE" with few clicks.

It's used for modifiers, like the skin color of smileys. It's actually a pretty clever bodge 😅

Can be used, right here on devRant, to meet the character validation and post a meme without requiring any visible text.

@Voxera My language uses word splitting extensively so I'm very grate-ful for this.
