Zero-width character detection and removal for Go. Inspired by [this Medium article](https://medium.com/@umpox/be-careful-what-you-copy-invisibly-inserting-usernames-into-text-with-zero-width-characters-18b4e6f17b66).

## Usage


package main


import (

	"fmt"

)

func main() {

	login := "abc​def"					// zero-width space between "c" and "d"

	clean := zerowidth.RemoveZeroWidthCharacters(login)	// a  b  c           d  e  f

	fmt.Printf("% x\n", login)				// 61 62 63 e2 80 8b 64 65 66

	fmt.Printf("% x\n", clean)				// 61 62 63          64 65 66

}
