Displaying is not my problem. Transferring character 160 decimal from the web browers edit buffer to the wikipedia database and back is the problem.
Please check that the browser's edit buffer does, in fact, contain a char 160, and that it does, in fact, send this character to us. We don't do any conversions that I would expect to alter this character if we were receiving it.
Try this: http://www.wikipedia.org/tools/testnobreak.php
It's a minimal check for an 0xa0 (160) byte in a submitted textarea. A quick test on Windows 2000 shows IE 5.5 working fine, but Mozilla 1.3b fails: that is, Mozilla is converting the non-breaking space to a breaking space before sending it to the server.
