You have to use the escaped unicode    Like    breadcrumbs a before       content    0000a0       More info on   http   www evotech net blog 2007 04 named-html-entities-in-numeric-order

Use the hex code for a non-breaking space  Something like this    breadcrumbs a before       content    gt  00a0

There is a way to paste an nbsp - open CharMap and copy character 160  However  in this case I d probably space it out with padding  like this    breadcrumbs a before   content    gt    padding-right   5em      You might need to set the breadcrumbs display inline-block or something  though

Here are two ways     In HTML    lt div class  ics  gt  amp  9969  lt  div gt    This will result into       9969    In Css    ics  before  content    9969      with HTML code  lt div class  ics  gt  lt  div gt   This also results in   9969

In CSS you need to use a Unicode escape sequence in place of HTML Entities  This is based on the hexadecimal value of a character    I found that the easiest way to convert symbol to their hexadecimal equivalent is  such as from   9662    amp  9662   to  25BE is to use the Microsoft calculator     Yes  Enable programmers mode  turn on the decimal system  enter 9662  then switch to hex and you ll get 25BE  Then just add a backslash   to the beginning

CSS is not HTML    amp nbsp  is a named character reference in HTML  equivalent to the decimal numeric character reference  amp  160    160 is the decimal code point of the NO-BREAK SPACE character in Unicode  or UCS-2  see the HTML 4 01 Specification    The hexadecimal representation of that code point is U 00A0  160   10    161   0    160   You will find that in the Unicode Code Charts and Character Database   In CSS you need to use a Unicode escape sequence for such characters  which is based on the hexadecimal value of the code point of a character  So you need to write   breadcrumbs a before     content    a0       This works as long as the escape sequence comes last in a string value   If characters follow  there are two ways to avoid misinterpretation   a   mentioned by others  Use exactly six hexadecimal digits for the escape sequence    breadcrumbs a before     content    0000a0foo       b  Add one white-space  e  g   space  character after the escape sequence    breadcrumbs a before     content    a0 foo        Since f is a hexadecimal digit   a0f would otherwise mean GURMUKHI LETTER EE here  or   if you have a suitable font    The delimiting white-space will be ignored  and this will be displayed   foo  where the displayed space here would be a NO-BREAK SPACE character   The white-space approach    a0 foo   has the following advantages over the six-digit approach    0000a0foo      it is easier to type  because leading zeroes are not necessary  and digits do not need to be counted  it is easier to read  because there is white-space between escape sequence and following text  and digits do not need to be counted  it requires less space  because leading zeroes are not necessary  it is upwards-compatible  because Unicode supporting code points beyond U 10FFFF in the future would require a modification of the CSS Specification    Thus  to display a space after an escaped character  use two spaces in the stylesheet       breadcrumbs a before     content    a0  foo           or make it explicit    breadcrumbs a before     content    a0 20 foo       See CSS 2 1  section  4 1 3 Characters and case  for details

Update  PointedEars mentions that the correct stand in for  amp nbsp  in all css situations would be   a0   implying that the space is a terminator to the hex string and is absorbed by the escaped sequence   He further pointed out this authoritative description which sounds like a good solution to the problem I described and fixed below   What you need to do is use the escaped unicode  Despite what you ve been told  00a0 is not a perfect stand-in for  amp nbsp  within CSS  so try   content   gt  a0                or    content   gt  0000a0            because you ll find     content  No a0 Break         and    content  No 0000a0Break      becomes No amp nbsp Break as opposed to below      Specifically using  0000a0 as  amp nbsp   If you try  as suggested by mathieu and millikin   content  No 00a0Break       becomes No amp  2571 reak      It takes the B into the hex escaped characters  The same occurs with 0-9a-fA-F
