Breaking space (opposite of non-breaking space)

While solving a little bug on a website caused by a non-breaking space ( ) I was wondering if there's an opposite.

Is there an HTML code for a breaking space, and if so, what is it?

I saw mention in this question about a zero-width space (​), but that won't give any width (obviously).

Does an HTML entity exist for a regular space?


  is a regular space (by its numeric ASCII value).


If you are using HTML and you would like more than one space to to appear, will not work. The unfortunate part about   is it does not wrap properly because it is a non-breaking space.

For those that reached here looking for a solution, try the CSS

white-space: pre-wrap;

This will allow you to have multiple spaces side by side in a single line. It works great for chat programs.
