The non-breaking-space (character A0) works fine in
most cases for me as a developer
but for an end-user it is hard to explain. It also
leads to possibly unwanted effects such as 'non-breaking'
or, in the case of using a digit space, a larger gap.
It is also treated as a different char in a text search command.
If you import e.g RTF text over the clipboard
it would also need the text to be edited after
pasting, which is simply too much work.

I use ASCII character A0, rather than the usual space 20.
