Hallo!

at the beginning of
http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/project:bugzilla/02042#more_test_links_available_soon
there are three links regarding tests with *Unicode Character NO-BREAK 
SPACE - U+00A0*
  1.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8 character with 
"copy and paste" in Firefox
  2.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8 character with 
"copy and paste" in Outlook Express
  3.. project:bugzilla/02042/ - tried to generate the UTF-8 character with 
"copy and paste" in Word
  4.. project:bugzilla/02042/  - generated with  
  5.. project:bugzilla/02042/  - generated with  

I copied the fourth link on a Windows XP SP2 system

1 in Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) 
Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7)
2 in Outlook Express
3 in Word

However I was not able to copy   and generate the correct link using an 
UTF-8 character.

Is this
a) a MediaWiki character conversion issue
b) an issue related to the operating system
c) an issue related to the used programs

Would be happy about your feedback.
