Questions tagged [space]

DO NOT USE THIS TAG! It is too ambiguous; instead please use a more specific tag like letter-spacing (separation between letters), whitespace (between words), margin (areas of a screen), layout or a platform/language-specific tag (for non-web layouts), etc.

DO NOT USE THIS TAG! It is too ambiguous; please tag your platform and/or language instead and if necessary a more specific tag like

  • letter-spacing (separation between letters),
  • whitespace (between words, glyphs),
  • margin (areas of a screen),
  • layout or a platform-specific tag (for non-web layouts)

etc.

Space characters in text systems indicate separation between words or glyphs. While most Western scripts use only one space character, Unicode defines multiple different kinds of whitespace characters for use in specialized typography functions and in Asian languages.
