For a non-breaking space, Word uses Ctrl-Shift-Space (we should also for
consistency), but since that is non-obvious, there must be a way through
windows to "Insert special Character" and let them select the character.
As for what to show, either show what you show for a space (nothing), or
use a slightly off-background color.

I saw the sources. Very similar to what I was going to write.

I was just wondering it there should be any diffrence between normal and
non 
breaking space.
