- ale42 1y agoMaybe it isn't a space, but a list of invisible Unicode chars...
- yread 1y agoIt could also be a byte length of a 3 byte UTF-8 BOM and then some stupid space character like f09d85b3
- robin_reala 1y agoIt’s U+0020, a standard space character.
- eastbound 1y agoIt can be many Zero-Width Space, or a few Hair-Width Space. You never know, when you don’t know CSS and try to align your pixels with spaces. Some programers should start a trend where 1 tab = 3 hairline-width spaces (smaller than 1 char width). Next up: The <half-br/> tag.
- Moru 1y agoYou laugh but my typewriter could do half-br 40 years ago. Was used for typing super/subscript.
- c12 1y agoI did exactly the same, thinking that maybe it was invisible unicode characters or something I didn't know about.
- timeon 1y agoUnintentional click-bait.
