I hope this questions isn't a FAQ...

I have a tab-delimited text file which I .import using .sep "\t" into a 
freshly declared table whose columns are of type TEXT.

The program which generates the text file exports each "empty" field (if 
any) as a single non-breaking space, i.e. 0xA0.

SQLite 3.5.4 .import's the data which complaining, not surprisingly. 
But the non-breaking space is rendered in SELECT output as a lower-case 
acute-a, aka U+00E1.

I'm certainly no Unicode expert.  I end up doing an UPDATE on each 
column to replace รก with an empty string.

Obviously, I could also preprocess my textfile to remove the 0xA0.  But 
can someone help me understand what's going on here?

Thanks!
