Description
Sometimes, we need to manually insert non-breaking spaces in the text.
It would be nice to have that option directly in the editor with the other special chars.

This is a bit more complex: on getting the content from the editor we encode only <, >, and & as entities, all the rest including are converted to UTF-8 characters. So even if there is an , it becomes "invisible" in the Text editor or when looking at the HTML source.

I think this is a tinymce plugin.
There is indeed a TinyMCE plugin that adds a button to insert non-breaking space: https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/blob/master/js/tinymce/plugins/nonbreaking/plugin.js. Don't think it should be included by default in WordPress, there are several plugins that add it.

I took a quick look and when you click the special char icon the top left square is a non-breaking space. However when you click it it does not insert anything.
Adding a non-breaking space via the Special character dialog works as expected for me. It looks like a regular space, but I've confirmed that it's a non-breaking space by saving the resulting HTML source into a file an inspecting it.
I think this accomplishes what this ticket is asking for.
