You just need to put a space after the escape sequence, as specified: '\a0 Break'. '\0000a0Break' is not reliable.

@PointedEars Interesting, so then this space is a terminator and does not get included into the string?

See CSS 2.1, section "4.1.3 Characters and case". Which also shows that your approach SHOULD be reliable per CSS 2.1. But I find the whitespace approach cleaner (upwards-compatible) and having a smaller footprint.
