Maybe there's a misunderstanding on my part: are you saying that you
do NOT see ZWNJ on display?  In that case, it could be because the
character is by default displayed as a very thin (1-pixel) space.
When you move the cursor across it, you should see a very thin bar
instead of the normal cursor.

In any case, the variable I mentioned lets you change how this
character is displayed.
