 If I use Zero Width Non Joiner char in post title (and post title will be
 used for post slug and name as default), url will be ugly.
 ZWNJ is a character used to split two words without real space, for
 example I in work (پیامک‌ها) there is a ZWNJ between (پیامک) and (ها). If
 I remove ZWNJ, it will be "پیامکها" which is wrong in Persian (and similar
 languages). Now if I use ZWNJ in slug, makes url so ugly, for example
 "/پیامک%e2%80%8cها/".
 I changed `function remove_accents( $string )` and add two replacement as
 below:
 `
 // Grave accent.
 'Ǜ' => 'U',
 'ǜ' => 'u',
 // Persian.
 '‌' => '-', //added
 '‍' => '-', //added
 `
 to replace these chars to space
