Hi all, it's me again.

One more thought comes to mind: you have a zero-width non-joiner character. What about introducing a zero-width "joiner" character? It would be very handy in some cases, when the paragraph composer decides it's a great idea to break a text and put a comma or quotation mark at the beginning of a line (and behind it a space, of course, to make it extra ugly) - see this thread - or if the hyphenation doesn't work as it's supposed to and you're not feeling like troubleshooting the hyphenation dictionary...

Thank you, have a nice day!

It already exists. It's Unicode character U+200D, and all you have to do (desktop Publisher only) is type U+200D then Alt+U or Text > Toggle Unicode.

It does not exist, though, in Text > Insert > Spaces and Tabs. You need to type it manually.

You can find zero-width joiner and the other undocumented special characters here:

Really? I didn't know, but thanks! Then the question is, whether this character is so important, that it should be possible to insert it via the menu, or not. I'd say it is 🙂

Nice, thanks! I have saved it as reference for later 🙂
