Inserting non-breaking spaces isn't honored but replaced

[putzwasser]

📝 Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

1. Open ckeditor on a linux machine
2. Press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+u to switch into unicode input mode
3. Type 00A0 to insert a nbsp

✔️ Expected result

CKeditor should insert a non-breaking space

❌ Actual result

CKeditor inserts a normal space.

❓ Possible solution

Respect the actual user input. While I understand that ckeditor tries to deliver a good experience when copy pasting (#1669), I find it quite bold to replace deliberately chosen user input.

(This is related to #1669 but this describes another bug. While #1669 deals with copy-pasting a nbsp this is about inserting it directly via unicode input mode)

This unfortunately is not possible yet due to how input detection works. But there's a high chance it will be resolved soon once we migrate to beforeInput.

Thanks for the reply. Is there an ETA for the migration?

Also, do you know a workaround?
