This comment is making the page formatting gross. Those special characters with the strike-throughs make the entire page over-wide, thus requiring horizontal scrolling to read comments.

The browser layout engine should break on the spaces (Chrome does). They are just normal spaces, the combining character should have no effect. You have a bug somewhere.

Also, I cannot edit nor delete it now, so tough luck!

        " "    SPACE	                        Basic Latin
               0x0020
        "ΜΆ"     COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY	Combining Diacritical Marks
               0x0336

Gecko doesn't seem to break that line.
