What is Hair Space (U+200A)?
The character “Hair Space” (U+200A) is a type of white space character used in text processing and typography. It is a thin, non-breaking space that is used to add small amounts of space between characters or words in text.
The “Hair Space” character is assigned the code point U+200A in the Unicode standard, which is used to represent text in computers. In comparison to a regular space character, which has a width of about one-quarter of an em (a typographic unit of measurement), a “Hair Space” character has a width of only one-twentieth of an em.
In some text processing and typesetting applications, the “Hair Space” character can be used to adjust the spacing between characters in a more precise manner than can be achieved with a regular space character. For example, it can be used to increase or decrease the spacing between certain pairs of characters in a word or to align text in a specific way. However, it is important to note that the use of “Hair Space” and other white space characters for text formatting can be system-dependent and may not work as intended on all platforms and devices.
