This is an BREAK SPACE . Due to it, this line cannot be transferred by breaking 2 words associated with this symbol.
I don't know if this needs to be fixed...
We are talking about texts, fonts here in terms of representation of language to everyday readers. The normal language grammars allowing the use of hyphenations, underscores for terms that are linked by multiple words.
For the site where this is supposed to be read, these characters are just technical, you can't see them.
So it's more of a problem with your editor?
They are supposedly to be separated by just a common space character to readers, so please just use spaces, no need for newly invented word separators.

note: those characters are not present while opening motion_path.rst file with Notepad++ editor.
The Notepad++, in this case, hides an important information to you, which in my view is not good at all. These characters are not visible to the human eyes and can be hidden by clever means, but are NOT visible at code level, says when you are using dictionary to replace translations. This is where problem occurs. So the earlier to spot these problems, by not hiding them, at the editor level, is a GOOD thing.
