Remove Zero-Width Spaces with the Data Cleanse tool

[Balders]

Currently zero-width spaces are not removed by the data cleanse tool. This means you can have two visually similar words like Dog and Dog but one is actually longer than the other due to zero width characters. The removal of these zero-width spaces can be added with the formula.

REGEX_Replace([_CurrentField_], "\x{200B}", "")

Linking to a thread by @Hollingsworth as solving his idea would make this one redundant.
