Answer: When browsing the web, you may occasionally run into pages with somewhere in the text. You may even see multiple  's grouped together. This looks pretty odd, but there is a good explanation for it.
NBSP stands for 'No-Break SPace.' It is similar to a standard space character, but it prevents line breaks, or newlines from being processed between words or other elements. Typically, a string of text will wrap at the last space before the end of a line. A no-break space is treated as a standard character, so the text will not wrap wherever one is inserted.
No-break (or 'non-breaking') spaces are also used to display multiple consecutive spaces on a webpage. In HTML, the language used to create webpages, a single space is processed the same as two, ten, or one hundred consecutive spaces. So if you want to put more than one space between words or other elements on a webpage, you need to use a no-break space.
HTML Example
The HTML code for a no-break space is (HTML codes for special characters begin with an ampersand and end with a semicolon) . So to make 'this phrase' turn into 'this phrase,' no-break spaces must be inserted between 'this' and 'phrase' in the HTML, as in the example below:
<p>this phrase</p>
