Yes, sorry. In the second case, describe-char says that it is a space:

              position: 266 of 267 (99%), column: 51
             character: SPC (displayed as SPC) (codepoint 32, #o40, #x20)
     preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
 code point in charset: 0x20
                syntax:         which means: whitespace
              category: .:Base, a:ASCII, l:Latin
           buffer code: #x20
             file code: #x20 (encoded by coding system nil)
               display: by this font (glyph code)
     uniscribe:-outline-Courier
New-normal-normal-normal-mono-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1 (#x03)

If inserted alone:

             position: 285 of 289 (98%), column: 0
            character: ٌ (displayed as ٌ) (codepoint 1612, #o3114, #x64c)

            file code: #xD9 #x8C (encoded by coding system nil)
              display: composed to form "ٌ" (see below)
