Replace non-breaking space #
I imported the output of the tree command into a markdown file
and was confronted with this:
I find the “~” character annoying and want to get rid of them.
Isolating the output I put it through od to get the codes.
0000000 302 240 302 240 \n
0000006Some search later: The output 302 240 from od -c indicates
that the character is encoded as two bytes: octal 302 and 240.
This is likely a non-breaking space (U+00A0) in UTF-8.
To replace this with actual spaces:
:%s/\%u00a0/ /g
