The em space U+2003 is conventionally an em wide. It is one spacing character, rather than several ordinary spaces.
How to use it
Choose it when a text format explicitly calls for that spacing. For a page layout, margins, gaps and indentation rules are easier to control than repeated em spaces.
Examples
Compare the boundary
A B / A B
One em space and three ordinary spaces are different sequences.

U+2002Compare the code points and the stated spacing, joining or line-break behavior rather than relying on appearance.

U+2003The visible marker in GlyphIndex is a display aid. Copy actions preserve this original invisible character.
