Note that entity references and character references are expanded by the 
HTML or XML parser, so that would result in a no-break space (U+00A0). 
The result should be identical regardless of whether you used &nbsp;, 
&#160;, &#xA0; or the real character.

That shouldn't happen because character references and entity references 
  before it gets to this stage.  So the regex in uF processor should see 
it as \u00A0.
