Character or Tag that Uses No Space

I've been searching for a character code or HTML tag to use in a div that takes up no space.

I don't have the option of hiding the div or masking the content, so I'm looking for any particular character or tag that would place content in the div, but show nothing and take up no space. (i.e.   wouldn't be an option since it actually renders a character)

This div cannot be empty, thus nothing isn't a viable option.

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space is one idea. ​ in HTML. Not sure about cross-browser support though.
