As you know, the “Normal space character (U+0020)” itself is invisible, and there are many other characters that are also “invisible” like this space character. These characters are designed for various functions, mainly for “Spacing”, either vertical or horizontal spacing.
What I use for this generator is precisely one of these kinds of characters. I use the “Hangul filler character”. It is a space character for ‘Hangul Typing‘.
