In computing, a non-breaking space (NBSP) is a special space character that prevents an automatic line break (line wrap) at its position. It is also known as a hard space or fixed space. It can also be used to get multiple spaces in a row in systems like HTML that reduce sequences of normal spaces to a single space. The difference between a NBSP and a normal space is that, when a string including the NBSP comes at the end of the line, and is too long to fit, it will move the whole string to the next line (including the strings that the NBSP connects to). This is analogous to how normal strings wrap. For example, the string "ambidextrously" will never be "broken", and neither will the string "am bi dextrou sly" (ie. "am bi dextrou sly").
Encodings or &.Word processors may use different methods to enter a nonbreaking space on the keyboard. For examples: Other types There are several other non-breaking spaces in the Universal Character Set (ISO 10646) and Unicode: See also | ||||||||
