The correct question is, does a particular character set (such as
ISO-8859-1) have such a character? Yes, it does - the HEX value is
0xA0. In fact, your Mac HTML editor probably translates the Macintosh
character set to ISO-8859-1, so that it would translate your Option
Space keystroke into that character. In fact, web browsers even on
the Mac use ISO-8859-1 by default when displaying western language
pages.
However, the correct way to represent a non-breaking space in HTML is
" " (without the double quotes). No matter what the encoding of
the overall page is (i.e. ISO-8859-1, Macintosh, Chinese Big-5, or
even plain old ASCII) this will always generate a non-break space
character, and not some weird symbol.
Double-check the generated HTML after you use your Option Space
trick. Hopefully, it will say " ", and not a binary
representation in your particular character set.
