At least with Xetex and Luatex compilers both tilde (~) and U+00A0
NO-BREAK SPACE can be used as a non-breaking space. There is one
difference. Tilde is a stretchable space just like normal word space.
U+00A0 is a fixed-width space and more suitable for keeping some closely
related parts together. (And let's not forget \, command which is a
fixed 1/6 em space.)
