I did my own tests in word 2010 with Windows 7. Although U+FEFF and
U+2060 displayed differently when I enabled the display of
'non-printing' characters (spaces, inactive soft hyphens, non-breaking
hyphens, paragraph ends etc.), the behaved the same when embedded in
French l'eau and Thai กก - they changed each word to two words, as
detected by ctrl/rt-arrow. However, this is wrong.

Clarification: It doesn't work in correct software. Correct software
would have treated the modified words as single words.
