  touch "alt<ALT-space>space" "regular<space>space"

  env LANG=fr_FR.ISO_8859-1 ls
  alt space
  regular space

  env LANG= ls
  alt?space
  regular space

I believe that most (not quite all) character sets in which 0xa0
is defined at all use it for unbreakable space.  (But it is not
defined in 7-bit ASCII, which is the FreeBSD default.)
