3 code pointsMeaning and context
The en space U+2002 is conventionally half an em wide. Use it for a text-spacing convention, rather than for aligning columns.
How to use it
Use it for a deliberate spacing specimen or a document convention. Prefer layout tools for columns, because a space character is not a stable cross-font measurement.
Examples
Compare the boundary
A B / A B
The comparison uses en space first and em space second.
