Well, this is something similar but not quite the same. The "No-Width Optional Break" on the Special Characters tab that is available from the Insert > Symbol dialog is Unicode "Zero Width Space", U+200B. This works from the main pane of Insert > Symbol (thank you for making me think of trying this!) and by using Alt+8203. My point is that this does NOT work for me from the Insert > Symbol > Special Characters pane, as described in my OP. What does work is Alt+8203: this produces the double square non-printing symbol and the desired behaviour.


Inerestingly, U+200C, as per your suggestion, does NOT work from the main pane of Insert > Character, either.
