Where does the ZWS encoding actually happen?

[SohamG]

Hello,

I was looking through the source code trying to understand how the url is encoded in the unicode zero width space character aka U+200B.

I got to this file (https://github.com/zws-im/zws/blob/main/apps/api/src/urls/urls.service.ts) but that file doesn't seem to mention or reference said unicode character? Please can someone help me understand this?

I apologize in advance if posting this here isn't the most convenient.

Thanks

The zero-width shortened string is generated in this method. It uses characters from the config defined in this file.

Thanks for the reply! I was under the assumption that U+200B was the only zero width space in unicode. Turns out that is not the case.
