Use non-breaking spaces instead of normal spaces in the emoticon. Otherwise, depending on the device width sometimes the emoticon ends up getting broken up across lines which doesn't look pretty. ^-^'

I encountered this issue on both Element and Fractal.

However… this actually doesn't seem to resolve the issue in either of them. I'm going to merge the commit anyway as in theory it should've. I'll investigate what else could be done, or perhaps this should just be reported upstream to the client maintainers.

I could be wrong, but it looks like Element, Firefox, or my OS itself may be converting the &nbsp; characters to regular spaces under some conditions. 🤔

So it may be that the Matrix bot will handle this better since it doesn't go through the Element client. I'll have to test this later.
