NBSP is at 202/0xCA. Those values for NBSP will only work on OSX, though - they are assigned to different characters on Linux and Windows. For consistency, it is best to use numToCodepoint (which uses Unicode codepoint numbers) rather than numToChar (which uses the platform-specific legacy text encodings).
