In computer character encodings, there is a normal general-purpose space (Unicode character U+0020) whose width will vary according to the design of the typeface. Typical values range from 1/5 em to 1/3 em (in digital typography an em is equal to the nominal size of the font, so for a 10-point font the space will probably be between 2 and 3.3 ...
A command prompt with Korean localisation, showing halfwidth and fullwidth characters. In CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) computing, graphic characters are traditionally classed into fullwidth [a] and halfwidth [b] characters. Unlike monospaced fonts, a halfwidth character occupies half the width of a fullwidth character, hence the name.
Ideographic Space (U+3000): behaves as an ideographic separator and generally rendered as white space of the same width as an ideograph. Ogham Space Mark (U+1680): this character is sometimes displayed with a glyph and other times as only white space.
Spacing examples. The top row is unspaced, the middle row has a thin space between the words, and the bottom has a regular space. In typography, a thin space is a space character whose width is usually 1 ⁄ 5 or 1 ⁄ 6 of an em. It is used to add a narrow space, such as between nested quotation marks or to separate glyphs that
U+FF00 does not correspond to a fullwidth ASCII 20 (space character), since that role is already fulfilled by U+3000 "ideographic space". Range U+FF61–FF9F encodes halfwidth forms of katakana and related punctuation in a transposition of A1 to DF in the JIS X 0201 encoding – see half-width kana.
A narrow space character, used in Mongolian to cause the final two characters of a word to take on different shapes. [5] It is no longer classified as space character (i.e. in Zs category) in Unicode 6.3.0, even though it was in previous versions of the standard. zero width space: U+200B: 8203 Yes: No ? General Punctuation: Other, Format ZWSP ...
The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible space between words, such as Thai, Myanmar, Khmer, and Japanese. [1] In justified text, the rendering engine may add inter-character spacing, also known as letter spacing, between letters separated by a zero-width space, unlike around fixed-width spaces. [1]
The BOM, encoded as U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, has the important property of unambiguity on byte reorder, regardless of the Unicode encoding used; U+FFFE (the result of byte-swapping U+FEFF) does not equate to a legal character, and U+FEFF in places other than the beginning of text conveys the zero-width non-break space. The same ...
