In Wolfram Language / Mathematica, there are the following
escaped characters that end with Space:
$WhiteSpaceCharacters = {
"\[AutoSpace]",
"\[COMPATIBILITYKanjiSpace]",
"\[InvisibleSpace]",
"\[LetterSpace]",
"\[MediumSpace]",
"\[NegativeMediumSpace]",
"\[NegativeThickSpace]",
"\[NegativeThinSpace]",
"\[NegativeVeryThinSpace]",
"\[NonBreakingSpace]",
"\[RawSpace]",
"\[ThickSpace]",
"\[ThinSpace]",
"\[VeryThinSpace]"
}
These can be found by evaluating ?\[*Space] in a
Mathematica notebook.
To actually obtain these in copiable text was not
straightforward for me as I did not find a programmable way to
generate the above list. Instead, I copied the cell expression out
(by selecting the output cell, pressing
Ctrl+Shift+E, and copying out the
text), and then run ack to extract any strings that
start is sandwiched with \[ and ]:

Curiously, only \[AutoSpace],
\[NonBreakingSpace], \[RawSpace] satisfy
StringMatchQ[#,
RegularExpression["[[:whitespace:]]"]]&.
