NBSP is used for this purpose.

My proposal u+FFFE was nonsense, I wanted u+FEFF.  The latter
is "zero width nbsp" (aka BOM), did you also mean this beast ?

Yes.

Not a no-op in some cases wrt hyphenation and composition, so
it's probably not what Tom wants.

It's close enough.

Thanks for that - as close as I am going to get:-)
