[ESS] unexpected character when evaling a region

[Balint Tamasi]

Hi Alex,

No, I didn't copy/paste the code, I typed it in a newly opened file. These
UTF8 codes (I only encountered the nonbreaking space) usually (not always)
show up after equation signs but I've also seen them after slashes.

Many thanks,

Balint
