In 1.16.1 (and possibly versions prior), the zero-width non-joiner works as expected, but in 1.16.2, the symbol now shows a box with "ZWNJ" in it, and still is in 1.16.5
Examples in the attached pictures
Reproduction Steps
In 1.16.1, change the language to a right-to-left language (like Arabic), so that it would render properly
Copy "باتو ءيند"
Paste it in the Minecraft chat in both 1.16.1 and any versions after 1.16.1
[X] The symbol appears as a box with "ZWNJ" in it

Would like to see this error fixed soon, since the ZWNJ symbol is used rather often in languages like Malay in Jawi script since some of the characters which are generally written connected, are written separately since writing them the other way would give a different meaning.
Can confirm.
