If there is a "thin space" character, that's probably a feature to have differing widths, although that should never be used in source code. Do common editors normalize that, like tabs, to ASCII space chars? a (useless?) "rabbit hole" of further reading about white space characters on Wikipedia (don't click, go back to work instead!)

It is actually the opposite, thin space characters etc. all behave nicely. This one actually behaves like a "fat boy" character and is wider than a space.

The character in question is listed on that page...but not in the tables if that helps 😉
