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.
