 There is a big problem in recent version of WordPress,
 "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_non-joiner Zero-width non-
 joiner]" in the URLs is removed automatically.

 This will have a very bad effect on SEO (and has affected many sites)
 because the page with "Zero-width non-joiner" in their URL will goes to be
 404.
