{{Template shortcut|zwj}}

The template {{tl|zero width joiner}} inserts the code {{code|&zwj;}}, producing a {{unichar|200D|Zero-width joiner|nlink=Zero-width joiner|html=&zwj;}} in the rendered wiki-page. This invisibly 'sews together' two words as if they were a single word, preventing their separation at line breaks. It acts as a {{tlg|nbsp|alttext=no-break space}} {{code|&nbsp;}} except is immaterial and does not display on the page.

== Usage ==
This template can be used, for example, to prevent text to wrap as in:

:''something that needs a citation''<br/>{{fake citation needed}} 

Inserting <code><nowiki>{{zero width joiner}}</nowiki></code> between the text and the tag produces instead:

:''A zero width joiner''&zwj;{{fake citation needed}}

== History ==
This template used to employ code of the older "[[Zero-width non-breaking space]]" that is now outdated, as of Unicode&nbsp;3.2. Though Unicode suggests a {{smallcaps|[[Word Joiner]]}} instead, zero-width joiner does practically the same thing and better matches the already-existing {{tl|zwnj}}. An alternative is to simply use the HTML code {{code|&zwj;}} in wikimarkup.
