Unicode c2a0 is not non-breaking space; that is 00a0. Soft-hyphen is
00ad. The c2a0 and c2ad characters are in the Hangul Syllables table,
and are displayed correctly for me (the same way they display for me in
the email you sent).

I believe your problem is that you are confusing Unicode code points
with utf-8. You should use the code point when using Ctrl-V u to enter
Unicode characters. So, if you type Ctrl-V u 00a0 you will get the
non-breaking space. If fileencoding is utf-8, then when the file is
written, the non-breaking space will be written out as the two-byte
sequence c2 a0, because that is the utf-8 encoding for code point 00a0.
