Unicode unambiguously specifies that U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN, as a Default_Ignorable_Code_Point, should have no visible display by default. However, many terminal emulators do not implement the Unicode semantics, but instead implement the ISO Latin-1 semantics, which give the character a visible display (https://unicode.org/faq/casemap_charprop.html#18, https://archive.is/fCT3c).
Currently, this library implements the ISO Latin 1 semantics. This PR would switch to the Unicode semantics. Whether it should be merged, depends on what this purpose of this library is supposed to be.
