Soft Line Breaks - in NW, Style and in Freeway/Graphical programs

Can someone give me some insight intot this please:

NW uses a special invisible character to insert forced "soft" linebreaks.

However, when pasting text with such breaks into e.g. Style, the SoftBreak character becomes a Square. Meaning that this character is not accepted there.

Then, I use Freeway from softpress.com. I can paste styled text into that program. But Soft Breaks becomes squares.

And I think I saw that square in a the other graphical programs I tried also.

It seems as if there is no agreed upon way to insert soft line breaks. Which is a pity. E.g. in the case of Freeway I think it si really stupid. Soft linebreaks are very common in HTML.
