According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_character#Spacing_and_non-spacing_characters): "In Unicode, Graphic characters are those with General Category Letter, Mark, Number, Punctuation, Symbol or Zs=space. Other code points (General categories Control, Zl=line separator, Zp=paragraph separator) are Format, Control, Private Use, Surrogate, Noncharacter or Reserved (unassigned)." Is that right? The general category Zs ("Separator, Space") contains 17 characters: <https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/Zs/list.htm>. So it's not just the ASCII space character. Curiously, the Zl and Zp categories contain just one character each.
