I'd suggest searching for ([a-z]); or ([a-z])! and using \1&#1 6 0 ;; or \1&#1 6 0 ;! as the replace. Alternately, you could use & 8 2 3 9 ; (a narrow non-breaking space) if your font supports that glyph.

Remove the spaces between the digits of 160 or 8239 and the ; (needed to keep the characters visible).
