Best Answer

It creates a non-breaking space. This is a space between two words that keeps the two words always on the same line when it comes to word wrapping. This is quite commonly used to keep words together that are important, like an official name or a product. Microsoft Word would be an example. If they were typed near the end of a line Microsoft might be at the end of the line and Word could wrap onto the next line if an ordinary space is used. With a non-breaking space they will always appear on the same line, though they will have a space between them. When you turn the hidden characers on, a non-breaking space is indicated by the degrees symbol appearing between the two words instead of a dot.
