U+2002 " " En Space Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2002 " " En Space is a typographic spacing character that is exactly half the width of an Em Space, typically representing the width of a lowercase "n" in a given typeface. It is commonly used in digital and print typography to create consistent, standard spacing in justified text or between words and symbols where a full word space might be too large. Unlike the regular space character (U+0020), the En Space has a fixed width that does not expand or contract during text justification, making it useful for aligning text in tables, separating numerical ranges, or formatting citations and coordinates. It is part of the Unicode General Punctuation block and is distinct from other spaces such as the Thin Space (U+2009) or the Em Space (U+2003).
