Source: Browser Default
U+2006 " " Six-Per-Em Space is a typographic spacing character that represents a space exactly one sixth of an em in width, making it one of the smaller fixed spaces in the Unicode standard. It is primarily used in fine typography and layout to create precise, minute gaps between characters or elements, such as in mathematical formulas, tables, or where a thin separation is needed without the flexibility of a regular space. Unlike the regular space or non-breaking space, this character is intended to be invisible yet provide a consistent, minimal amount of horizontal separation, often utilized in situations where a hair space or thin space might be too small or too large, respectively.
