Never mind my mother, you lost me at BabelMap.

Actually, once I read it twice (pun intended) I got the idea, though I think I'd be the normal human at the end saying, "I just see a blank space."

Where I could see using the thin non-breaking space would be when you have italics followed by regular punctuation, for example:

He asked, "Do you really want to go there?"

Too often the italicized word leans too far into the question mark and looks squished. In a print publication one would just increase the distance between the two characters (in this case the e and the ?). How ereaders display similar text would depend on the font and how the device/app handles word spacing in a justified paragraph.
