Would be useful: U+2001 / EM QUAD (Unicode Whitespace) should be a copy of the normal space char

[schittli]

Good evening

Unfortunately there are sourcode files on the internet which use the Unicode Character EM Quad / U+2001 to format block graphics.

When we open them in the editor with Jetbrains mono, the graphics are torn because the font doet not have defined the unicode white space U+2001 / EM Quad.

Therefore,

it would be great if you could just copy the normal Space U+0020 to U+2001 / EM Quad

with exactly the same specification/size. This way such graphics would be displayed correctly again.

To test the result

you can just copy the generated Ascii Text art into the source code and comment out the pasted Text:

You should get:

Thanks a lot, kind regards,
