Help
Paste the copied character between words or letters. A regular space separates words; a non-breaking space keeps a number and its unit together at a line break.
Use the line-break tool with your complete caption and empty lines, then copy its result. This page copies one spacing character.
Apps may remove leading or trailing spaces or replace them with regular spaces. Check the result before and after saving.
