Overview

The space character occupies U+0020 in the Basic Latin block and is the most common whitespace character in written text. Classified in Unicode as a space separator, it produces the horizontal gap that separates words and other elements. Though invisible, it is fundamental to the structure of nearly all text, and as one of the earliest defined characters it sits within the original ASCII range at the foundation of the Basic Latin block.
