      Some character sets define "no-break" versions of the space and
      hyphen characters, which are used where a line should not be
      broken. Emacs normally displays these characters with special
      faces (respectively, `nobreak-space' and `escape-glyph') to
      distinguish them from ordinary spaces and hyphens. You can turn
      off this feature by setting the variable `nobreak-char-display'
      to `nil'. If you set the variable to any other value, that means
      to prefix these characters with an escape character.
