Yes, but 0xA0 is no correct UTF-8 sequence. Only the 128 ASCII chars
(0x00-0x7F) can be written as single-byte sequences. All other chars
require 2 or more bytes.

0xC2 0xA0 is the correct encoding of the non-breaking space as UTF-8:

If you do such replacements in your scripts, it might make sense to
ensure that all your scripts are stored in UTF-8 as well. Then you don't
have to manually create the correct byte sequences.
