Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+202F "" Narrow No-Break Space is a typographic space character that prevents automatic line breaks between words or elements while occupying a width narrower than a standard space, typically about one fifth to one sixth of an em. It is commonly used in French, Breton, and other European languages to separate certain punctuation marks like the guillemet ( » ) or the semicolon from preceding words, and it also appears in Mongolian text and in units of measurement where a visual gap is desired without risking a line break. Unlike the regular no-break space, its reduced width helps maintain consistent typographic flow and visual balance in justified or tightly set text.
