The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible space between words, such as Thai, Myanmar, Khmer, and Japanese. [ 1 ] In justified text, the rendering engine may add inter-character spacing, also known as letter spacing, between letters separated by a zero-width space, unlike around fixed-width spaces.
LaTeX: \\ no-break space: U+00A0: 160 No: No Common: Latin-1 Supplement: Separator, space Non-breaking space: identical to U+0020, but not a point at which a line may be broken. HTML/XML named entity: ,  , LaTeX: ~ ogham space mark: U+1680: 5760 Yes: No Ogham: Ogham: Separator, space Used for interword separation in Ogham ...
A second common application of non-breaking spaces is in plain text file formats such as SGML, HTML, TeX and LaTeX, whose rendering engines are programmed to treat sequences of whitespace characters (space, newline, tab, form feed, etc.) as if they were a single character (but this behavior can be overridden).
In some cases, spaces are shown simply as blank space; in other cases they may be represented by an interpunct or other symbols. Many different characters (described below) could be used to produce spaces, and non-character functions (such as margins and tab settings) can also affect whitespace.
The non-breaking space works within links exactly like a regular space. Thus you can link to [[J. R. R. Tolkien]] directly and it will render as J. R. R. Tolkien. The initials will not be separated across a line break. However, renders the source text harder to read and edit. Avoid using it unless it is really necessary to ...
A Unicode character is assigned a unique Name (na). [1] The name is composed of uppercase letters A–Z, digits 0–9, hyphen-minus and space.Some sequences are excluded: names beginning with a space or hyphen, names ending with a space or hyphen, repeated spaces or hyphens, and space after hyphen are not allowed.
The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [1] and the LaTeX symbol.
For a comprehensive set of symbols, and comparison between <math> tags and the {} template see section TeX vs HTML. The <math> tag typesets using LaTeX markup , [ b ] which may render as an image or as HTML, depending on environmental settings.
