| 32 | 20 | ] [ | Space | The standard whitespace character used in most situations. Many text renderers now interpret consecutive use of this as only a single spacing; To show consecutive whitespace requires multiple consecutive encodings (e.g. HTML encoding as  ). Width varies among fonts and renderers. Many renderers introduce line breaks at this space when a line of text reaches the end of the available display width. To prevent, use no-break space. |
