Could someone please help how to to replace Non-breaking space with regular space. I referred [this](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/1907) but its not working.

> "mappings": ["\\u00a0=>\\u0020"]
> }
> ],
> "text": "For section\\xa07."
> }
>

Output:

> {  
> "tokens" : [  
> {  
> "token" : """For section\xa07.""",  
> "start\_offset" : 0,  
> "end\_offset" : 17,  
> "type" : "word",  
> "position" : 0  
> }  
> ]
