It may also be displayed as a space in other cases, like justified text. There are aternatives to the entity &#8203; that fix this wrong behaviour, at least with Opera/Linux. They are more portable than the current numerical entity. 1. Use the tag <wbr> (official since HTML5, but cross-browser since a long time, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/HTML/Element/wbr ). 2. Use a soft hyphen &shy; (this changes slightly the behaviour, as a hyphen will appear when the word is split). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-12-04 17:31:10] aharvey@php.net Related To: Bug #66233 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-29 00:36:24] phpmpan at mpan dot pl I believe this belongs to Opera's bug tracker, as this is neither bug in PHP nor in PHP's website. "Official W3C entities" refer to named entities, not character codes. #8203 is a valid code for character U+200B (which should not be rendered at all, so it's not a typeface issue). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
