title: Weird space character in string, that's not a space?
body: <p>I've been having trouble with a Capistrano script, or in fact, a bash command that was causing my script to fail. I kept on getting errors from the script saying:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>No such file or directory</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So here's the script bit. </p>
  
  <pre><code>run "sudo ln -s #{shared_path}/readme.txt  #{shared_path}/readme-symlink.txt"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Upon closer inspection it turns out that there are two spaces between the readme.txt and readme-symlink.txt bits. By accident I found that one is a space, and the other is just a weird character that looks like a space, but it's not. Here's what it looks like in Sublime Text, configured to display whitespace:</p>

  <p>Notice how, in the above image, there is only one dot after readme.txt, and then another "<em>space</em>"</p>
  
  <p>So here's my question, what on earth is this charachter, I'm just so confused how someone managed to get that in there by typing on a normal keyboard?</p>
