About this character

U+3000 is IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE, a space character in the CJK Symbols and Punctuation block. Its script is Common: it is shared by many writing systems rather than belonging to one. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a fullwidth form of U+0020 (compatibility decomposition <wide>). NFC and NFD leave it alone, but NFKC and NFKD replace it with U+0020. Search engines, identifier checks and username systems that apply NFKC will treat the two as the same text.

Its East Asian Width is Fullwidth, so terminals and monospaced layouts give it two columns.

It has the Unicode White_Space property, so regular-expression \s in most Unicode-aware engines and trimming functions such as JavaScript trim() treat it as whitespace.
