U+0083 "NBH" NO BREAK HERE Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
NBH
U+0083 "NBH" NO BREAK HERE is a control character in the C1 control code set, originally defined for use in text processing to indicate a point where a line break should not occur, effectively preventing word splitting at that position. Unlike the more common no-break space or soft hyphen, NBH is not a visible or printable glyph but an invisible formatting instruction intended for specialized systems, though its practical use in modern text encoding is extremely rare and it is generally considered obsolete in favor of more robust Unicode break control characters.
