ZWNB

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zero White Non-Breaking (Space) (ZWNB), also known as Byte Order Marker (BOM), is, in Unicode[1], a computational artifact[2] that appears on certain browsers when it is not known whether the beginning of a file is in big or little endian. The letters appear as a square at the start of an initial line of problematic text.[3]
