I have an html containing nbsp but I am unable to pass it through wp_kses(). I have tried adding allowed html array('nbsp' = array(),) but does not seems to work.
I there a way or I should not do that?

not sure the difference but I used
 for adding a white space ..then passed it throughwp_kses()
The correct HTML entity for a non-breaking space is — note the ; which is required and without it (i.e.  ), the entity is not valid and when used with wp_kses(), you'd get &nbsp instead of a non-breaking space.
strangely it was working fine before I used
wp_kses()
I'm pretty sure it's because the browser is smart enough and auto-corrected it to . :-)
So, always use valid HTML entities and also tags (e.g. close a <div> with a </div>), regardless you use wp_kses() or not. Don't rely on "intelligent guess" or auto correction by the browser.
