Hi Greg, > What does the statement mean " as long as it has no compatibility decomposition to Space or any other character"? NNBSP has a compatibility decomposition to U+0020 space, which means that when you apply Normalization forms NFKC or NFKD to it (or Mongolian text containing it), NBSP is converted to U+0020. This, in my opinion is a serious flaw, so if the new character were to be defined as a space we would want to ensure that it has no compatibility decomposition, but remains the same character under all normalization forms. However, I think that defining the new character as a format character rather than a space character is much better as it formats the characters on either side of it, and is not simply a space character.
