Assuming that this question is about HTML: Web Browsers and email programs normally will break a line of text that is too long to fit in the window into multiple lines. Normally, lines are split or wrapped at the final space that fits in the window.

If the HTML author finds it undesirable to have a line of text broken at a particular space, the HTML author can replace that space with a non-breaking space. The browser or email program will keep the two words that surround the non-breaking space together and break the line at the preceding space.

A non-breaking space is coded as "" ". A normal space is just a space, although it can also be coded as " " or " ".

The nonbreaking hyphen option?

The nonbreaking hyphen is a typographic feature that prevents a line break at the point where it is used, ensuring that the words or elements it connects stay together on the same line. This is particularly useful in compound adjectives or when linking numbers and units (e.g., "20-year-old" or "5-foot-10"). It is often represented by a specific keyboard shortcut or character code, depending on the software being used. Using nonbreaking hyphens helps maintain clarity and readability in text formatting.
