Hair Space is a typographic punctuation mark used in professional publishing and formal writing to replace the plain ASCII approximations (like straight quotes or a hyphen) that typewriters were limited to.
Unicode block: General Punctuation (U+2000–U+206F). This block holds the "smart" typographic punctuation — proper quotation marks, en/em dashes, ellipses, and spacing marks — that go beyond what a physical typewriter keyboard could produce.
At Unicode code point U+200A (decimal 8202), Hair Space is the 11th of 111 characters cataloged in this category on How To Type Any Symbol. In terms of typing methods, like most characters outside the 0–255 legacy codepage range, it has no dedicated Alt-code or single-key shortcut on Windows or Mac, so copy-paste is the standard, universal method for typing it. Regardless of platform, clicking the copy button above places the exact character on your clipboard, ready to paste into any application that accepts Unicode text.
💡 Good to know: Using proper typographic punctuation consistently is considered a mark of professional, well-formatted writing in print and editorial design.
