No-Break Space (U+00A0) – The Invisible Space That Prevents Line Breaks

No-Break Space

What is NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0)?

No-Break Space (NBSP) is a special invisible space character that creates a space between words – but does not break the line at that place.

Its code in Unicode is: U+00A0

At a normal space (U+0020), the browser or Word can move the line to the next line.
But at a no-break space, the line does not break.
