Not visible unless you hover it.

You can only "see" it on the clipboard if you hover the mouse over it.

Maybe this could be solved with a divisive line.
There should also be a infotip/tooltip telling if the text contains a Zero Width Space in it if the cursor is over it, since there's no graphical way of showing it, unlike normal spaces.

For testing purposes, you can copy one of these out of KCharSelect after searching for it under "zero width space".
