But characters are logical entities, and files are just streams of bytes, it is th efile encoding that matches the two. In a latin-1 encoded file nbsp is a single byte with value 160. In a utf-8 encoded file that single character is encoded as two bytes. If you look at the file in a system that understands the file encoding you will see a (non breaking) space, if you look at the file in a system set up for the wrong encoding of course the bytes in the file are displayed as the wrong characters. The bytes that denote nbsp happen to appear as an accented A and a space, but essentialy it is just random junk caused by your system incorrectly decoding the byte stream.
