There are characters that can be used to separate parts of a name so 
that the following or preceding parts of the name are hidden at 
particular zooms to save space.

Eg. N[0x1e]Green[0x1f]Street

would display N Green Street or just Green. Then there are non-spacing 
versions and characters for force upper or lower case of the following 
character.
