There is a difference (latter uses Alt+0160 instead of a space) but it's so insignificant that they literally look almost the same at a glance. In fact, they might as well be the same to some.

So no. A capital letter is not enough of a difference to warrant this. Alt+160 IS a space, actually. Also, a capital != lowercase, that's actually the whole point of having them. Actually, in coding, some programs render Alt+0160 different from regular spaces. A regular space is Alt+255 IIRC. This trick is usually how some people get spaces in their name, password, or other areas where they can input text when they normally can't; because they're instead using the Alt+0160.

So no, it's not the same, on a technical standpoint. But since they pretty much look the same, I hardly blame you. Actually, wouldn't it be Alt+32? IIRC Alt Text uses the same values as hex does, and in hex 20 is a space, ad that's a value of 32...

(just tested, that's what's in front of the 32and ellipsis)
