Seo Yoast compatibility

You mean on the frontend? In which field? I just tested this on a live site and I could not find any   in the og:description tags. However, a non-breakable space should not be a problem even if it was inserted there, no?

Yes on the frontend side, page title and meta description in the document head.
Yoast also applies the same values to the OG and Twitter card meta. However, I am using the wpseo_title and wpseo_metadesc filters to pass ACF values to those fields.

It would appear that this depending on your Titles & Metas setting (and your theme of course). I have not been able to reproduce this issue with the %%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%% setting in Yoast SEO (neither using the Libre nor the using the Twenty Fifteen theme).

Yes, I think it might be related to the above filters as I got no other theme specific mods. Anyway, it doesn’t affect search and shouldn’t affect ranking as Google knows what a   is.

Ah, it might be because in recent versions, wp-Typography also processes some ACF output filters. If you don’t want that, you can remove the filters via

remove_filter( 'acf/format_value_for_api/type=TYPE', array( WP_Typography::get_instance(), 'process' ), 9999 );

For ACF Pro, the filter hook would be acf/format_value/type=TYPE and TYPE should be replaced with wysiwyg, textarea or text, depending on the field type you don’t want filtered.

Have you been able to resolve the issue?

@pputzer thanks for pointing out the remove_filter option. By now, I am including title in the list of the Do not process HTML elements and this solves the issue with no side effects as I am using WP Typography on a case by case basis with $typo->process( $title ); but I’ll give your snippet a spin as soon as I have more time to play with it.
