My bad, I misunderstood the "feature" mentioned in the old post.
My use case is to emphasize chinese characters without spaces being inserted, even those zero-width spaces. For example "ÖÐÎÄ*²â*ÊÔ" should be enough to emphasize "²â".
I am using zero-width spaces right now, and it works fine in org-mode buffers, but if exported to latex-pdf files, the U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE character will not be zero-width for certain fonts. So I hope not to use that character.

By the way, it seems that my use case has already been implemented by markdown-mode. In a markdown-mode buffer "ÖÐÎÄ**²â**ÊÔ" will certainly make "²â" bold.
