Non-Printing Unicode Characters are fun!

Reasons why you should add them:

**1. Some of them are only detectable by viewing the code in an improper encoding format or, by viewing the hexadecimal data.

It adds a good hours worth of troubleshooting before someone realizes that there is an invisible character in there code.
Because why not?**

List of non-printing Unicode characters:

U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE
U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER
U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER
U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK
U+202A LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING
U+202C POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING
U+202D LEFT-TO-RIGHT OVERRIDE
U+2062 INVISIBLE TIMES
