Entering a non-breaking space into a post

[Denial]

There is a question that has been bugging me since the recent new-format Eng-Tips landed on me with an unexpected THUMP. Under the old Eng-Tips, we could include a non-breaking space in our text using "[ ]". Under the new system that text string is uninterpreted, and appears as its raw characters. Does the new system offer a method to achieve a non-breaking space?

Related. Is there a method to achieve a non-breaking hyphen?

Compose space space is the default sequence for a non-breaking space on MacOS and most Linux distributions. Be sure your compose key is enabled, not all OSes turn that on by default (Windows requires the third-party WinCompose to even use a compose key in the first place).
