Can some please explain the meaning?
=20
I wondered the same thing so I Googled it and found the answer.

=3D20 is code for a normal space and =3DA0 is code for a space between
word=
s where the line can't break (a non-breaking space). For an example of
th=
e use of the latter, if I was to type something like "read this help
articl=
e:
https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/gmail/WCklpQTrJMk/discussion",
=
the Forum editor puts a non-breaking space in place of the normal space
aft=
er the ":". You can check the effect by changing the width of the window
w=
here you are reading this to try and make the word "article:" sit at the
en=
d of a line - it will instead wrap on to the next line along with the
URL.
