Also there’s the no space space. But that’s really only useful in hacking bad implementations of html parsers or putting in your code you post online to mess with people.

That’s the “zero width space,” Alt + 200B for Windows users. Another favorite of mine is the nonbreaking space, Alt + 0160, which a staggering majority of web sites and other systems fail to account for.
