# How Do I Resolve Problems with Non-Breaking Spaces?

On rare occasions, a non-breaking space is used in data rather than the standard space/extra character. When a non-breaking space is used as part of an amount in **Regional Profiles** or in the script, it will cause display issues as it is not supported.

The non-breaking space has a HEX value of C2 A0, while the standard space has a HEX value of 20. A tool that enables users to see HEX values will alert you to any problems.

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. Before opening the Form Engine, open a **Binary Filter** modifier and click the **Setup** tab.
2. In the **Find Regular Expression** box, enter the non-breaking space HEX value **xC2\xA0**.

The non-breaking space is then removed.

> If you wish to replace the non-breaking space with a standard space, enter **x20** into the **Replace With** box.
