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.
