char as word boundary

[Neville Smythe]

Jean-Jacques

In 9.6.8

 the number of chars of (numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 5

As it should be.

Did you mean the number of words?

But then 

 the number of words of (numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)& numtochar(202)&numtochar(32)) = 0 (in 9.6.8)

As it should be.

Char 202 is unicode for an invisible char marking a paragraph end I believe, I think rarely used until recently. It has been turning up in web sites causing difficulty for old parsers.
