Does using U+2060 "WORD JOINER" instead avoid the need to modify Sphinx?

  I haven't seen any code in Sphinx that fixes width calculations

  change Sphinx. But here's the thing:

  My issue was that some characters just can't be used inside ``...``
  for inline code, and I wasn't sure what to do when I needed to
  generate inline code with those "forbidden" characters. But now
  I found out about the ":literal:" role, which apparently lets you
  include /any/ character - even if it's a bit more to type. That would
  be really helpful for my program that generates reStructuredText.
