Its rendering as a spacw for me on eternity lol. U can also put it in the middle of words to make word count heigher than it should be lol.

It is a space, so it's correct that it shows up. Non-breaking means that something like line wrap won't happen.

Putting it in the middle of a word will show up. That trick must've been a different character.
