Setting zero width space as bullet character for paragraphStyle

Question

Hello,Maybe this one could go on in the general InDesign forum but as I am trying to achieve this by script, I thought I could get valuable inputs from you guys.Do you think it's possible to set a zero width space as a bullet character for a paragraph style ?If I try this to get character code, its failing :app.selection[0].characters[0].contents .charCodeAt (0); //ErrorGiven that first and unique character is a zero width space. It works fine with a regular character. So it seems that as it is a special character, it doesn't have any code (except from enumeration) ?I noticed unicode for zero width space is U+200B but I can't get to pass it as a value for the bulletChar.characterValue property.Am I stuck in a deadend ?best,loic

I don't think the bullet characters will show up in the contents unless you convert them to text first.

It looks like these will work to supply a unicode ID number for the character you want:

paragraphStyle.bulletChar.characterValue = 0x200B;

or

paragraphStyle.bulletChar.characterValue = 8203;
