What is the correct way to ignore zero width non joiner in hunspell affix file?

Does your file contain `SET UTF-8` and is it actually a UTF-8 encoded file? Windows encoding defaults to UTF-16. — , Dec 23 '22 at 03:19
Yes. It is UTF-8 encoded file and SET UTF-8 is the first line. — shantanuo, Dec 23 '22 at 03:29
IGNORE <200c> seems to work. I am not sure if removing U- is correct. Once someone confirms this, I can close this question. — shantanuo, Dec 23 '22 at 04:59

From my research, the character after the IGNORE + space, is the encoded character in UTF-8. Not a representation of the character, but the character itself.

There may be other possible valid representations in the file.

I used "copy" button from https://unicode-explorer.com/c/200c and then pasted the character in affix file (linux O/S). That worked. – shantanuo Dec 23 '22 at 05:27
