| Name | Em quad | |
| Unicode number | U+2001 | |
| Category | Space symbols | |
| Description | The Unicode character " ", or U+2001, is known as the "Em Quad". It belongs to the "General Punctuation" block in the Unicode standard. The "em" in typographic terms traditionally referred to the width of the capital letter "M" in a given typeface, though in modern typesetting it more commonly refers to the point size of the font in use. An "Em Quad" is a space character with a width equivalent to an "em". In digital typography, this space would be as wide as the current font size, since the em width in digital type is typically equal to the point size of the font. The Em Quad is one of several space characters of varying widths defined in Unicode, and it can be used in typesetting and text layout for specific spacing and alignment purposes. The actual visual width of this space can depend on the typeface and font size being used. |
