Context: I have two fanfics titled Unknown. Usually, I title them "Unknown." (with period) so that the title would appear in book details. I thought an nbsp (U+00A0) at the end would work instead and be a bit less intrusive. It didn't work.

I think this is likely a result of Calibre's tendency to strip preceding and trailing whitespace from most fields when they are edited. I am not at my computer right now, but have you experimented with adding non-breaking spaces in the interior of a title and seeing if they are replaced? I would expect that they are not – but I also expect that your idea to use a trailing whitespace character will be unsuccessful no matter which whitespace character you use. (I would expect that Python's string.strip() method correctly handles all Unicode whitespace class characters equivalently.)
