There will be more influences. Use ASCII char to see the 255 char There is a different charcode in Unicode and ANSI encoding. If you write char with ALT+nnn, if will work in non unicode editors correctly, but not with unicode ones. ALT+nnn you can use for chars up to 127.
Try this: open ASCII chart list char with number 255 (small dot) dbl click on the char and it will insert char on cursor position move cursor before char and look at status bar. In my case I see 729. It means if you will write ALT+729, it will insert your char. ALT+255 is char corresponding to 160 in ASCII (non breakable space) -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,63676,63677> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
