This template was used by one editor on <150 pages, usually in conjunction with some of the characters st ff fi fl ffi ffl ƈt (all instances of which I have just changed to st ff fi fl ffi ffl ct), to represent the c-t ligature found in old texts by displaying "c"+zero-width-joiner+"t". Nevertheless, it displays two separately-selectable characters. I do not think we should attempt to reproduce that ligature as anything other than regular "ct", let alone as something as hackish as this. I propose that this template be orphaned and deleted. - -sche (discuss) 21:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Delete. I literally can't tell the difference. I had to click edit to confirm that the template was in place on the entries I checked. I suppose there's some kind of difference that can be seen if you compare the template with c+t side by side, but it's not worth even the miniscule addition to the template load for a page.

- Afterthought: it might have something to do with my font or with my browser's treatment of the "zero-width-joiner" type of character. It still seems pointless, though. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- I notice that if I copypaste conductors (produced using this template) into the search box, it asks me if I meant conductos, and gives me a redlink. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:42, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
