I got into a discussion about this, and I'm really not sure what the
"Official" position is.
Is the HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS character, U+2026, to be preferred over using
three periods (possibly spaced with non-breaking spaces)? Or is it only
there for backward compatibility?
Obviously, "what is preferable" depends on what the situation is, but
even so there can be a sensible answer, e.g. "f + i" (or "f + ZWJ + i")
is preferable to U+FB01, LATIN SMALL LIGATURE FI, right? Is HORIZONTAL
ELLIPSIS of this class?
Inquiring minds want to know.
