This invisibly 'sews together' two words as if they were a single word, preventing their separation at line breaks. It acts as a Script error: No such module "Template link general". 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
[citation needed]
Inserting {{zero width joiner}} between the text and the tag produces instead:
- A zero width joiner[citation needed]
History
This template used to employ code of the older "Zero-width non-breaking space" that is now outdated, as of Unicode 3.2. Though Unicode suggests a Word Joiner instead, zero-width joiner does practically the same thing and better matches the already-existing {{zwnj}}. An alternative is to simply use the HTML code ‍ in wikimarkup.
