What's HTML character code 8203?

Question

What does the character code (HTML) ​? I found it in one of my jQuery scripts and wondered what it was..

Thanks.

Edit:

Here is the script it was in (it was added to the end, found it in Firebug)

{literal}
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var $jnyh = jQuery.noConflict();


$jnyh(function() {
    $jnyh("#title-nyh").click(function() {
      $jnyh(".show-hide-nyh").slideDown("slow");
    }, function() {        
      if(!$jnyh(this).data('pinned'))
        $jnyh(".show-hide-nyh").slideUp("slow");
    });
    $jnyh("#title-nyh").click(function() {
    $jnyh(this).parent().toggleClass("title-btm-brdr");
       $jnyh(this).toggleClass("chev-up-result");
      var pin = $jnyh(this).data('pinned');
      $jnyh(this).data('pinned', !pin);
      if(pin) $jnyh(".show-hide-nyh").slideUp("slow");      
    });
});​&#8203;
</script>
{/literal}

Answer 1

It's the Unicode Character 'ZERO WIDTH SPACE' (U+200B).

this character is intended for line break control; it has no width, but its presence between two characters does not prevent increased letter spacing in justification

Update: as per the given code sample, the entity is entirely superfluous in this context. It must be inserted by some accident.

Answer 2

zero width space

Answer 3

I usually don't do this, but just this once: STFW. Or if you know how character entities and Unicode work, this is even better.

There's a certain limit to my ability to tolerate peoples' reluctancy to use Google.

Answer 4

ZERO WIDTH SPACE.

I've used it as content for "empty" table cells. No idea what it's doing in a , though.
