How to insert Non-breaking space to NSString or NSMutableAttributedString

Question

How to insert Non-breaking space (like " " in html) to NSString or NSMutableAttributedString ?

Answer 1

As XCode treats all source code files as UTF-8 encoded text files, it should be possible to directly paste the non-breaking space into your source code:

NSString *text = @"100 feet long";  // non-breaking space between "100" and "feet"

To be on the safe side and make it more obvious, you can insert the Unicode value U+00A0 into the string:

NSString *text = @"100\u00a0feet long";

Answer 2

Swift code:

let text = "100\u{00A0}feet long"
