Non-breaking space convert to a Unicode representation

[lma lma]

When used with a   character in a post, it gets replaced and converted into a Unicode character upon sending the post.

the problem arises when you edit the post and add text in the 'empty area'. In this case, the design of the empty area is compromised, and it transforms into a plain line break.

hmm... can you tell me more about what you're trying to achieve?

If you're looking to do some sort of ASCII art (or positioned text via spaces) you probably want to enclose the text in three backticks, e.g.:

a b c d e
    ^

@julian
I have a guide in which I've inserted several   characters between paragraphs to create visual separation and spacing.
The formatting turned out great.

However, when I edit my guide and add content, if I happen to touch the "empty area" created by the   characters, it reverts back to a regular space, and the "empty area" becomes a single line. Just like if you were to try posting a text with multiple line breaks, it would only appear as a single line break upon posting.

For example, here are multiple line breaks with   in each of them:
 
 
 
 
 
 
And here's a section with simple line breaks (occurring when pressing "Enter"):

I've made five line breaks, but despite that, it only shows one line break.
Hoping for your understanding.

It should be noted that in previous versions of the forum, the   would not have been deleted, this is something quite new.
