The data entry filter (unicode_translation in common/library.py) doesn't remove certain non-printing characters:

& #847; - Combining Grapheme Joiner
& #8204; - Zero width non-joiner,
& #8205; - Zero width joiner,
& #8207; - Right-To-Left character

which causes display issues.

-The data entry filter (unicode_translation) doesn't remove  Combining Grapheme Joiner, i.e. e& #847; , which causes display issues. We need to add 847 to the filter after making sure that it doens't cause unforeseen side effect.
