  5. UNI-012 HSP The smallest visible blank in the catalogue: a hair between two touching gems. Spaces forgotten
  6. UNI-017 ZWNJ The invisible wedge: it keeps two letters from joining where they shouldn't. Invisibles forgotten
  7. UNI-018 WJ Zero width, zero breaks: the link that binds without taking up room. Invisibles forgotten
  8. UNI-019 LRM The invisible compass that returns a passage to left-to-right reading. Invisibles forgotten
  9. UNI-020 RLM The LRM's twin, pointing to the other side of the world. Invisibles forgotten
