"text:s" means "spaces" and "text:c" means "count", so tag <text:s text:c="3"/> means "3 spaces" e.i. " ".

    Thanks for the answer. A remaining mystery, however, is why Microsoft word (latest versions as of 2018) sprinkle `` quite randomly throughout the **.odt** files it writes, instead of just using the space character `' '` itself. – Glenn Slayden Jul 04 '18 at 23:29

    @GlennSlayden If the preceding character is the space character, then `` is the second of two space characters. (See the specification [here](http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/cd05/OpenDocument-v1.2-cd05-part1.html#a_6_1_3__text_s_).) – n.r. Jul 23 '22 at 22:44
