The wbr element (<wbr>) is used to specify a break point in a very long word or string. If a word or a string is too long in a document then sometimes the browser may breaks it at wrong place so it will be very difficult to read or it does not get broken at all which hampers the page layout. To overcome these problems the HTML5 wbr element is ideal.

Important point need to be remembered:

HTML5 wbr tag is supported by latest versions of all web browsers except Internet Explorer.
