"0xa0" is a non-breakable "space".

Apparently, your WYSIWYG editing snippet uses non ASCII
characters for fancy effects.
They are transfered and stored in Zope as Unicode.

You must tell Zope what encoding it should use for
result pages. You do that by

    RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=<your charset>')

"<your charset>" is something adequate, e.g. "utf-8" or
"iso-8859-1" (Latin-1).
