>True. But what effect does the extra ZWNBSP have in such a
case? Nearly none: the character is zero-width, does not affect
breaking, etc. (If the file was broken between a base
character and its combining character(s), then you may have a
problem.)
Should we also expect that the extra ZWNBSP might also affect
cursor movement & selection using, e.g., ctrl-right arrow (the
ZWNBSP might appear as a word boundary where none existed prior
to the split/concatenation)?
