Screenshot of exact titled page in Odia - Two

Attached:

http://or.wikipedia.org/s/5om is for ସମୟ and has unicode code points:
U+0B38 U+0B2E U+0B5F

http://or.wikipedia.org/s/gj1 is ସମ‌ୟ
U+0B38 U+0B2E U+200C U+0B5F

As you can see both titles look same but differs in data with an extra U+200C

U+200C is ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER an invisible character having different functionality in different scripts.

I am not sure whether 200C has valid usage in or. If this is unwanted, you need to consider it as a spelling mistake.

This request would probably turn into somehow blocking U+200C from being used in page names.

Then how can we know whether or not 200C has valid usage? I couldn't find any 200C in Odia Unicode chart. We can ignore if this is rare, so far 3/4 cases. We could wait and see if we find more such cases.

I guess U+200C would be required. When I type s+m+Y it resulted ସମ୍ୟ whereas s+m+_ (Shift dash "-")+ Y it resulted ସମୟ using typing tool Lekhani. In the latter case Shift - ("_") produces U+200C. Is there any other way to avoid this problem instead of blocking this as I feel for some spellings it would be needed.
