Re: Does character class %s ever match hardspace?

[Gé Weijers <ge@...>]

On my MacOS machine the following character codes match '%s':

"C" locale: 9 10 11 12 13 32

"en_US.UTF-8" locale: 9 10 11 12 13 32 133 160

133 == NEXT LINE (NEL)

160 == NO-BREAK SPACE (NBSP)

Is there a standard locale in which character class %s matches the
hardspace character?

Yes, of course.
For example, Russian Windows locale.
