Yes, that's pretty simple, and is now supported better than it used to be. Just add as many characters in a row as you need to make the space, that didn't used to work, but it does now. Unlike simple spaces, which the browser ignores, the literal space character forces a space to be added:

Like this: text     text
will display as: text text

but text     text
will display as text    text, just like you want it to.

When using special characters, keep in mind that they have to end with a semicolon, like this:   not like this: &nbsp

Special characters always begin with &, that's why using the & character anywhere else on your page, like text & text instead of text & text will trigger a validation error on the code.

You can find a list of html characters here:

You can use either the number form or the text form, either way is fine, except the text based one is easier to remember.
