Actually, the answer is irrelevant, because what the OP described is either a Sigil bug or a Qt 5.1.0 bug.

Any word ending in a base character followed by a combining character a space and additional characters will be displayed without a space in Code View. The only known fix is to replace all composite characters with their combined Unicode equivalents.

You can easily test this by looking at my test file. The first word, Thé, ends in e + 'COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT' (U+0301) followed by a space which is not displayed in Code View mode.
Most likely nobody noticed this bug, because combining accents aren't really necessary anymore and most Unicode texts contain (pre-combined) accented characters.
