No, it's just one word; we don't put non-joiners inside a word.
It also should not look any different from words where the ij is one
sound.
My feelings at this moment are that if you do want to make the
difference clear, write U+0133 for the "normal" ij sound and i+j for
when it's supposed to be two letters, and don't use any tricks such
as non-joiners. (If you MUST resort to tricks like that, my gut
feeling would be to use a joiner such as U+034F inside "normal" ijs
and nothing between the ij in bijectie. Again, no non-joiners inside
words!)

P.S. I haven't yet stumbled upon any words starting with ij which
were NOT pronounced with the ij sound. I'm beginning to think words
like that don't exist.
