>A Question as subject. Was it related to new kernel or what? Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know. Yes, you're correct, but in a totally unexpected way. It's now fixed in brltty's latest development code.

For the technically curious: The reason is that Unicode doesn't define a zero-width space as whitespace. This was totally unexpected - at least by me - so the code did look right but wasn't.
