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:
“The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
