Hi Jo,

what about using the combination of a zero width space and a non-breaking
space?
i.e.: 8B and A0. It does not look that good at a line end and behaves a
little
bit strange during selection, i.e. shift cursor. It does line breaking
correct,
but it is also difficult for searching and I have no idea how it handles via
clipboard/rtf.
