Whitespace Character

Whitespace Character

In computer science, whitespace is any character or series of characters that represents horizontal or vertical space in typography. When rendered, a whitespace character does not correspond to a visual mark, but typically does occupy an area on a page. For example, the common whitespace symbol U+0020 space (HTML:  ), also ASCII 32, represents a blank space, used as a word divider in Western scripts.

The term "whitespace" is based on the resulting appearance on ordinary paper.

Famous quotes containing the word character:

    Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one’s self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, everywhere conceded—a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment by inheritance, wealth, family and position.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
