Yup validation message with  

Question

I'm working with yup, the code I have so far is

   word: yup
    .string()
    .required('word must be 5 characters.')
    .matches(fiveCharacters, 'word must be 5 characters.'),

This works great, but when I try to add a non breaking space between 5 and characters

5 characters

It shows up in the DOM as above instead of being an actual non breaking space. I tried googling around for escape options but couldn't find anything. Thanks
