Comment:

 This is a bit more complex: on getting the content from the editor we
 encode only `<`, `>`, and `&` as entities, all the rest including ` `
 are converted to UTF-8 characters. So even if there is an ` `, it
 becomes "invisible" in the Text editor or when looking at the HTML source.

 Replying to [comment:1 MikeHansenMe]:

 There is indeed a TinyMCE plugin that adds a button to insert non-breaking
 space:
 https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/blob/master/js/tinymce/plugins/nonbreaking/plugin.js.
 Don't think it should be included by default in WordPress, there are
 several plugins that add it.
