Hello,
1) Your Operating System?
Windows 10 64 bits
2) What version of POP Peeper are you using? (found in "Help" > "About POP Peeper...") 4400
3) Does this issue involve specific email accounts or all of your accounts? (i.e. which accounts have this problem (Hotmail/Outlook.com, Yahoo, Gmail etc?). All
4) What email protocol are you using? (i.e. are you using Webmail, Server type = "Hotmail/Outlook", "Yahoo", "Gmail" etc., or are you using either IMAP or POP3). Pop3
I use bepo layout version 1.1 (light version) http://www.cdc7.net/bepo/bepo1.1ff.zip a very french specific layout based on Dvorak (https://bepo.fr/wiki/Pr%C3%A9sentation) and I have a little problem only in Popeeper message edition. When I try to type a breaking space (Shift+Space), I’ve got a "?". It occurs only in Popeeper. I don’t have the problem with another french layout that manages the breaking space the same way (Shift+Space).

Re: a little glitch with an exotic keyboard layout
First, I didn't install the software so that may be why I didn't get the same results. Another reason is that I'm using en-us, and a different locale may have different results. That being said, I didn't have any apparent problems in my test.
Do you know the specific code of the character you're using (e.g. 0x## although there are plenty of other ways to represent it)? You said "breaking space" but isn't that just a regular space character (ie. 0x20). I assume you meant non-breaking space (0xA0) which is what I tested.
POP Peeper should work with any ascii and "probably" extended-ascii characters. If it's using unicode, then that probably explains why you're getting a '?' character instead (0xA0 is not unicode).
If you're not sure, try this:
Type the character into a text editor, with the following text:
here's the space-character -> <-
(where the space between -> <- is the character causing a problem in POP Peeper)
and attach it in your reply (if the forum doesn't accept the file format, email it to me, be sure to tell me why you're emailing it to me) and I'll open the file in a hex editor to see if I can tell what character it actually is.

Thanks for the quick answer. In fact I found another program with the same problem : the chat console in Hearthstone game
.
Here is the file (and you are right about non-breaking space).

Re: a little glitch with an exotic keyboard layout
Ok, this is what I expected to find -- it's inputting a unicode character. Specifically, 0xe2 0x80 0xaf (aka U+202F) which is specified as "narrow no-break space." POP Peeper doesn't currently support unicode, so that's why you get an invalid character instead.
