  • The 'soft hyphen' character.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen
    you'd put it in a long word where you want it to break aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

    or aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­bbbbbbbb   It's a character that only shows up when you are typing a long word and you overreach the width of the formatting.
