Non-breaking space (NBSP) should work
AI ignores NBSP when it's places as symbol. 'No break' option is an option but ridiculously hard to be applied quickly. Anyway NBSP should work

While we wait for Adobe to fix this, I use a simple scripts to enable and disable "no break". I assigned a shortcut to it with AutoHotkey
#target illustrator
var nobreak = app.selection.characterAttributes.noBreak
app.selection.characterAttributes.kerningMethod = AutoKernType.METRICSROMANONLYif (nobreak == false){
app.selection.characterAttributes.noBreak = true;
} else {app.selection.characterAttributes.noBreak = false;} -

Please fix this. This is a significant limitation in the typographical engine.

Illustrator does ignore glyph U+00A0 (no-break space). Please stop replacing U+00A0 by U+0020 (space) in Illustrator and support non breaking space like all standard apps in 2019.
If I copy-paste text from InDesign to identitcal text frame, the result in Illustrator may be different because of this VERY OLD bug.
