: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.– oblitumCommented Oct 12, 2019 at 15:42

@yukashimahuksay maybe replacing for a whitespace is good enough.– oblitumCommented Oct 12, 2019 at 15:45
