Question

How do I search for a unicode value ie 200B? It is a zero width space to it does not show the exact location in the verse within the character inventory.

Thanks!

Answer 1

In the Find box, type "regex:\u200b" (without the quotes) and hit enter. It should give you a list of hits. Double-click on one of those, and the character is selected. Since it's not visible, you could hold shift and type the right arrow key, which will add the next character to the selection, which would show you where it is.

Perfect! That worked. Thanks so much!

Answer 2

Note that Paratext 9.5 (scheduled to be released before the end of the year) will have better handling of whitespace characters. There will be the option to display characters (as can be done in MS Word and other tools).
