special character description

[hsg]

While asking help for removal of spaces from numbers copied from html page
into excel, I came to know that the charracter which looks like normal space,
is actually "html non breaking space". There are many such special
characters, which appear in ASCII code table. Is there any place where we can
find their application, like Alt-0160 is actaully used in html pages? This
will help in solving problems, if we come across them unexpectedly.

thanks
