:syntax match ZeroWidthNonJoiner "[\u200c]" conceal cchar=😄

You need to check :h conceallevel, I set it to 2 personally. Otherwise, you may not get conceal to work as you expect.

  • @yukashimahuksay there's no way to disappear characters afaik, you can only substitute for another visible one.

  • @yukashimahuksay maybe replacing for a whitespace is good enough.
