Question

Answer 1

 

Non-breaking space.

Answer 2

I think you're looking for a non-breaking space.

 

Answer 3

if you mean "␣", it's ␣ ( = ␣ )

update: above is "open box" character. more accurate symbol might be "shelf" symbol ˽ ˽

update 2: there is yet another character, counterbore ⌴ ⌴, but it's rather a technical graphical symbol.

please note, the you can have some problems with the second symbol "shelf", because it is a modifier symbol.

i'd choose the "open box" ␣
