AKA "non breaking space". It's a character which is not a space, but has no black pixels. It's nothing to do with Rev - it was invented early in word-processing - it looks like a space on the printed page, but line-breaking code doesn't realise it isn't a normal character, so it doesn't break the line. On the Mac, you've traditionally entered it using option-space; in HTML, it's represented by . Basically, it's a venerable hack. And if you think that's bad, Unicode has reserved another code point to represent a "zero-width non-breaking space". I really don't know what purpose that serves!
