Oh yes. I got so pumped up by your article(and partially by losters' comments of never using it again) that I went on my own to replicate the scenario. Only then I was able to understand what you meant by :

Looks like setting up the compose key on linux did the trick.
I posted my own recipe for naming files using non-breaking spaces[0] after someone asked for it. A beginner here so the steps may look a little too primitive but it gets the work done. Thanks for introducing me to a hack. Now I can have a folder with two files whose name look exactly the same(ASCII 32, NBSP).
