The sample places one thin space between two letters.
Thin space
The thin space U+2009 adds a narrow typographic gap. Unlike narrow no-break space, it does not carry the same no-break behavior.
THIN SPACE
Invisible character — the marker is not part of copied text.

The thin space U+2009 adds a narrow typographic gap. Unlike narrow no-break space, it does not carry the same no-break behavior.
How to use it
Use it for a defined typographic convention rather than invisible alignment hacks. If keeping neighboring text on one line is required, verify the appropriate no-break character or layout rule.

The left sample uses thin space; the right uses narrow no-break space.
