Multiple consecutive whitespaces in expanded text output.

I found a solution to this ,that worked for me, via the wikipedia page on "Whitespace characters" and thought I would share it here.

Working example below ●                    ● The characters 'between' the two bullet points above are not spaces, they are "PUNCTUATION SPACES" which work (show up invisibly) for me in a gmail compose window (what I needed)

Enjoy :)

P.S. - I'll include below some other whitespace characters that work below; there are 10 of each in front of their names.

Oh hey Tim, this is really cool! Interesting, thanks for sharing this. Hmm I'm not thinking of replacing people's whitespaces with these characters yet, but it's a great potential solution for people who need it. Will leave this open so people can find it. :)
