How can I type half-space in RichTextBox?

Question

When I press "Shift + Space" to type half-space (when I 'm writing in Persian) in a RichTextBox, it just inserts space. It types all other Persian characters correctly, but when it comes to "Shift+Space", it types just space.

The name of this character is "ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER" and the information is given in this link: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/200c/index.htm.

I should mention that I fixed the problem by handling previewKewDown event; but I like to know what is the problem with this key combination in a RichTextBox.

thanks.

I think the problem is simply with your keyboard layout in windows. Windows' keyboard layout for Persian simply does not support ZWNJ. If you use Iranian Standard Persian Keyboard (ISIRI 9147) (Version 2.0) from Persian Computing Community Site, it will be available.
