{{tl|zwsp}} inserts the code {{code|}} literally, which produces a {{unichar|200B|Zero-width space|nlink=Zero-width space}} in the rendered wiki-page.

=== Usage ===
This is a convenience template for the zero-width space character, U+200B ({{code|}} or {{code|}}).

It is invisible in display, but has the effect of acting as a line-breaking point for text inside a word that otherwise would not break. Whitespace and normal dashes (-) are already line-break points, but this template allows the special insertion of invisible breakpoints inside words. A break at a zero-width space does not cause a hyphen (or anything else) to appear; use {{tl|Soft hyphen}} if you want that.

The zero-width space character has a higher breaking priority than the hyphen character (-), so when using it in a phrase with hyphen, it is recommended to place a zero-width space immediately after each hyphen as well.

There are two ways to use this template:
* With no arguments, i.e. {{tlf|zwsp}}, this produces a single zero-width space character
* With one or more arguments, e.g. {{tlf|zwsp|this|is|a|test}}, the arguments are rendered separated by zero-width spaces. This reduces the amount of typing if several zero-width space characters are needed in rapid succession.

=== See also ===
* {{tl|non breaking hyphen}}
* {{tl|soft hyphen}} appears only if text is wrapped mid-word at specified point
* {{tl|word joiner}}
