I was asking whether your locale specifies U+00A0 as belonging to
the "blank" character class. Greg demonstrated how to see that:
$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
$ [[ $'\uA0' = [[:blank:]] ]]; echo "$?"
0
--
vq
