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 Unicode, thin space is encoded at U+2009 THIN SPACE ( ,  ). Some text editors, such as IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio, will display the character as its suggested abbreviation of "THSP". [2] Unicode's U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE is a non-breaking space with a width similar to that of the thin space.
Short descriptions containing Unicode space characters other than the usual U+0020. To help editors locate these non-standard space characters, non-breaking spaces and thin spaces are shown in this report as their character entities, and  ; all other spaces (including other width variants of the non-breaking space) are shown as a fake character entity, &othersp;.
However, using a non-breaking space can lead to uneven justified text and additional unwanted spaces or line breaks in the text in certain programs. [8] Alternatively, sentence spacing can be controlled in HTML by separating every sentence into a separate element (e.g., a span), and using CSS to finely control sentence spacing. [ 9 ]
The word joiner replaces the zero-width no-break space (ZWNBSP, U+FEFF), as a usage of the no-break space of zero width. The ZWNBSP is originally and currently used as the byte order mark (BOM) at the start of a file. However, if encountered elsewhere, it should, according to Unicode, be treated as a word joiner, a no-break space of zero width.
The Non-breaking space page says (under narrow no-break space) "Due to the tighter binding of value and unit as a continuous visual element NNBSP is recommended for usage in the SI-standard.[6]". However, the linked document (which is a NIST interpretation of the SI standard, not the SI standard itself) makes no reference to spaces between ...
TemplateData for Narrow no-break space Inserts a very thin "narrow non-breaking space" (NNBSP) unicode character, if no parameters are provided. If {{para|1}} is, that text is wrapped on each side with NNBSP's.
