What does this symbol mean at the end of a sentence -  .

[ham*i*am46]

When I go into my unsold items to relist something, this symbol   is at the end of several of the sentences in the description.  Can anyone tell me what it is, why it is there and how to stop it.  Thanks for any help.

It's html code for a space.

Actually, &nbsp stands for a non-breaking space, so it prevents the line from breaking at that point. Except that, if it is displaying in your description when you are not viewing the html code, then it is not actually functional as a non-breaking space.

You can replace it with an ordinary space, and it should work just fine.

If I am a computer geek, then I should know what it means

It is some HTML code that somehow ends up in the text, pretty common
