yes. like & nbsp; the & shy is present ! (I hated these two ) in any way a reader should deal with & nbsp ; \u 00a0 and & # 160 in the same way, nope ? I tested with the three with no success.

Also, the reason people use less & nbsp is because it doesn't validate xhtml or XML in html5 for the only html entities you can have in a xml are & amp lt gt, quot and apos (but it's like my opinion )
