Comments
Thanks for the info. At the graphics level Text and TextFlow are the elements that provided text wrapping. In Controls the base class is Labeled. The main meat for this work would go in PrismTextLayout#layout() A contribution for this work would be most appreciate ;-)

If implemented, It would probably make sense to make it work across all UI components that support text wrapping. So basically it would be a change in the word wrapping logic globally. There are also other characters that can affect word wrapping. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space With quick googling I came across the unicode standard for line breaking, that should take all the necessary special cases into account: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/
