' ' is the HTML encoding for a non-breaking space, which is a space that doesn't get removed by the browser on rendering. If you see this on a page (and not source code) it could mean the server got ' ' from the database and encoded it before it sent it to the browser so it showed up in the page. In the example below, bobby copied and pasted his story, but a bug caused the. Major Pictures: Major Photos / Images. Do you think NBFCs as banks create more problems than solutions?

Usage
Syntax
{{spaces|N|type}} produces N consecutive non-breaking spaces (where N is a whole number larger than zero) of the type specified by the second parameter (which are ordered by decreasing space width): em, fig, en, thin, hair. If type is not specified, N non-breaking spaces ( ) are produced. A non-breaking space has the same width as a standard space, whose width is between the width of en and thin.
{{spaces|type}} produces a single non-breaking space of the type indicated.
Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes
This template, usually as its alias {{nbsp}}, may be used with {{wbr}} and {{nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists in infoboxes, to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.

Alternatively called a fixed space or hard space, NBSP (non-breaking space) is used in programming and word processing to create a space in a line that cannot be broken by word wrap. With HTML, allows you to create multiple spaces that are visible on a web page and not only in the source code.
Creating a fixed space in a word processor and other programs
To create a fixed or hard space in a word processor such as Microsoft Office or LibreOffice, use one of the keyboard shortcuts below.
Microsoft Windows
Ctrl+Alt+Spacebar, or Ctrl+Spacebar.
Or, hold down Alt and press 0160 or 255 on the num pad.

Creating an NBSP in HTML
An example of how a user may insert an NBSP in HTML would be by adding the below extended HTML tag.
or
With the examples above, using this tag would allow you to create multiple spaces in a row, something that cannot be done by only pressing the Spacebar. To create multiple spaces, add one of the above non-breaking space tags for each time you want an extra space. For example, if you wanted ten extra spaces in front of text you could add ten of these tags.
TipIf you need to indent or add extra spacing to a paragraph, sentence, or another portion of your web page, we suggest using CSS instead of multiple non-breaking spaces. You can also use the <pre> tag.
