// component
const Foo = () => (
  <div className={styles.foo}>
    &nbsp;
  </div>
);


// test
 const container = shallow(<Foo />);
  expect(container.find(`.${styles.foo}`).text()).toEqual(' ');


// test result
expect(received).toEqual(expected)

    Expected value to equal:
      " "
    Received:
      " "

related to #1349 ?

For now this works

expect(container.find(`.${styles.foo}`).text()).toEqual('\u00a0');

Basically nbsps translate to this unix code \u00a0

I think the issue is that perhaps your literal non-breaking space in your tests is getting transformed to a normal one.

I've added explicit tests for the character codes generated by non-breaking spaces, and they both are already passing.
