           Summary: ZWNJ - Display non-printing, invisible character
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: Macintosh

Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.10) and WebKit r28007 display the non-printing,
invisible character "ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER U+200C". This happened after
installing leopard (V. 10.5.1).
When I copied the word that contain ZWNJ from Safari and pasted it in TextEdit
I noticed that while the Arabic /Persian word is displayed using Geeza Pro (as
it should), the ZWNJ is borrowed from font Arial.  See the attached picture.
This is not normal and very irritating, ZWNJ is invisible non-printing
character and Safari should not display it.
