3 code pointsHow to choose
Start with the behavior you need: a word gap, a narrow gap, a no-break boundary, or a shaping control. Open Details to check the exact code point before replacing an invisible value.
| Character | Code point | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Space | U+0020 | Ordinary word separation |
| No-break space | U+00A0 | Gap with no-break behavior |
| Narrow no-break space | U+202F | Narrower no-break gap |
| Zero-width space | U+200B | Potential line break without an ordinary gap |
| Word joiner | U+2060 | No-break boundary without a normal gap |
