iPhone UILabel - non breaking space

Is there a way to use non breaking spaces in UILabel text?

For example, I have label with 2 lines and line breaking mode set to word wrap. The content for this label is read from database, where it's stored as a string. Now sometimes my text in label looks like that:

lorem ipsum some text
1

but I want to display it like that:

lorem ipsum some
text 1

so basicly, I need to force non breaking space between 'text' and '1'.

I've found some solution here, but I think it could work when the text is entered in source code file. In my case the text is in database.

Any suggestions?
