So you want to be able to discuss NBSP (say) in plain text. You can already do that; in fact, you have multiple ways that everybody here will have no difficulty understanding:

I want to talk about it in a way that is visible. Oops. I can't do it interchangeably. Michael Everson * http://www.evertype.com/
