Arabic alphabets put together may have different rendering forms depends
whether there is a break between the alphabets or not. But it is not
neccessary a 'space' because there is no gap. Someone told me that ZWNJ
was suggested as a way to insert this break without adding a space altho
that was not the reason ZWNJ was there in the first place.

btw, can arabic keyboard actually enter ZWNJ? I am asking because I
could not find a way to do so.
