Non-breaking space. In word processing and digital typesetting, a non-breaking space ( ), also called NBSP, required space, [1] hard space, or fixed space (in most typefaces, it is not of fixed width), is a space character that prevents an automatic line break at its position. In some formats, including HTML, it also prevents consecutive ...
Unicode's U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE is a non-breaking space with a width similar to that of the thin space. b:Unicode/Character reference/2000-2FFF#ref. In LaTeX and Plain TeX, \thinspace produces a narrow, non-breaking space. [3] [4] Inside and outside of math formulae in LaTeX, \, also produces a narrow, non-breaking space.
Zero-width space. The zero-width space (ZWSP) is a non-printing character used in computerized typesetting to indicate where the word boundaries are, without actually displaying a visible space in the rendered text. This enables text-processing systems for scripts that do not use explicit spacing to recognize where word boundaries are for the ...
Template documentation. WhiteSpace is a Unicode character property specified in the Unicode Character Database. This template's initial visibility currently defaults to expanded, meaning that it is fully visible. To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
Note that use of any space character as a separator in numbers, including non-breaking space, is problematic for screen readers. (See § Non-breaking spaces.) Screen readers read out each group of digits as separate numbers (e.g. 30 {} 000 is read as "thirty zero zero zero"). The output of {} and {} is compatible with screen readers.

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.
More indentation can be set by additional non-breaking spaces; this is made easier (and arguably more readable) with the {} template, using the 2nd parameter to specify how many characters to insert: Rhianna{{wbr}}{{spaces|2}}Lea. However, the extra space might seem excessive between some words (unless all nearby spaces are doubled).
