Typing a nonbreaking space in a variable with another character

I'm trying to type a Unicode character and a nonbreaking space in a variable. The definition is \space\u00d7\space.

On the page, the variable text is displayed as:

pacexpace

where "x" is the Unicode character.

Other types of spaces in the variable work fine. However, "\space" does not work with non-Unicode characters in a variable.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Catherine

re: ... "\space" does not work ...

Try using "\ " (backslash with ordinary space).

Where did you learn of "\space"?

I would frankly expect it to be treated as "\s", and anything following as plaintext.

    "\ " worked. Thank you.

    I got "\space" from the FrameMaker 12 help's "Typing in dialog boxes" section. Yes, it seems logical that \s is interpreted literally. Perhaps "\space" means "type a backslash followed by a space".
