No-Break Space (U+00A0): The no-break space is a special Unicode character that visually resembles a regular space but prevents line breaks or text wrapping at its position. It is primarily used in digital typography and text formatting to keep elements like numbers and words or multi-word phrases intact on the same line. Unlike regular spaces it is non-breaking ensuring text consistency across layouts and preserving structural meaning in visual or written communication.
