Emacs normally displays these characters with special faces (respectively, `nobreak-space' and `escape-glyph') to distinguish them from ordinary spaces and hyphens. Hmm---inserting #x2011 (NON-BREAKING HYPHEN) into the buffer does not show the character in the `escape-glyph' face. Does anyone know if #x2011 is indeed the character that manual is referring to? Is the manual description obsolete or is the Emacs behavior buggy?
