As far as I can tell, you need complicated javascript to post the blank space, so not very many people are gonna be using it.
or, ctrl+shift+u+2+0+0+B+enter

There's an 0 key between the 9 and - key, and another 0 key in the arrow keys

Support, it would remove curses. I am a minor, and if a saw some un-censored adult talk, I would be scarred for life. Anything that bypasses the curse filter should be removed. Scratch is child friendly, and should have no way to curse.

Support. This would make scratch a safer place. But the filter shouldn't ban them, only skip them.

In addition to this, the original pride emoji should also be censored, because unlike other emojis, it disappears when you post the comment—allowing you to post blank comments, and get around the filter.
That's not a problem exclusive to the pride emoji. That's just a general problem with Unicode emojis.

When I use most emojis, it gives an
Oops! Something went wrong
error.

Full Support. I found someone who commented ZWS and copied it. Now that it's been typed before, it could be found, and then C-P'd (Copied and Pasted) elsewhere. As said in the OP, it can be used to bypass the filterbot. Whilst this suggestion has not been added yet, if you see someone using it, report it. This could also be used for spam, or empty bumps, which aren't allowed

**There are also websites which allow you to simply press a button to copy it, rather than doing code. I also could be thinking about a different uncensored blank character

you can actually. That was how I first learned about it before learning the unicode

Zero width spaces are used in programming languages. Instead of blacklisting them altogether, the Scratch Team should just make anywhere that a space would get blacklisted, a zero width space gets blacklisted.
