In lib/isblank.c I see the following:
/* The "blank" characters are '\t', ' ',
U+1680, U+180E, U+2000..U+2006, U+2008..U+200A, U+205F, U+3000, and none
except the first two is present in a common 8-bit encoding. Therefore
the substitute for other platforms is not more complicated than this. */
return (c == ' ' || c == '\t');
This is incorrect. In iso-8859-1 (a very common 8-bit encoding), U+00A0 is the
non-breaking-space character.
So unfortunately, isblank fails to correctly detect such a character.
