Sorry for dragging this issue but I have become uncertain ...

It seems that omitting the non-breaking spaces (yes it is a character class in unicode) from whitespace is deliberate.
See this bug report for proof:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5039533

Further it seems that Visual Studio 2005 defines whitespace the same way.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa989424%28v=vs.80%29.aspx

I would still personally consider it as whitespace but I wanted to give you as much info as possible so you can
make the best decision.

The only useful use I can come up with if nbsp is not whitespace would be to allow it in table name or in some other variable names. But I do NOT think it is a wise decision because first of all it is difficult to input(write). But more importantly it is impossible to set it apart from a normal space visually.

I feel that excluding nbsp from whitespaces is a bad decision from the programming community.

Hi,

I see. I will use isSpaceChar instead of isWhitespace.
