javadoc currently uses an entity ( `​`) for ZERO_WIDTH_SPACE to indicate to a user agent a position to break a run of characters. This is typically in a long signature, between the method name and left parenthesis.
As a character, this appears in the displayed output, and is included if a user copies a signature for use elsewhere. The resulting "unusual" large hex Unicode character can cause surprise and confusion.
An alternative to consider would be to use the HTML `<wbr>` element.
As an added benefit `<wbr>` is a shorter string than `​` so the HTML files will also be smaller as a result.
