Prevent LibreOffice/OpenOffice from splitting a string of text on symbols in the text

OpenOffice was insisting on splitting a line a string of text !$has_money between the exclamation point and the dollar sign.

As far as i can tell the only solution is to insert a special character, the "zero-width non-breaking space": U+FEFF.

It's something like fifth from last when using the insert special character dialog.
