But you don't want it to wrap from one line to the next. Like they're really one word but usually there's a space between them. So, for instance, say these two words belong together. The other character is what's called a Non-breaking space. But you can see the Tab characters as a right facing arrow and easily select them, delete them, and work with them thanks to Show Invisibles. If you use Tab here it tabs things over and of course you can set custom tabs. But if you've been typing for a long time then you probably are just using Tab out of habit from using a typewriter. So a lot of people may not use Tab at all. It's simply generated whenever you use the Tab key on the keyboard. Another one is the Tab which you can see here.

So for the standard characters the first one of course is the Space. Three of these are standard characters that appear in text. There are actually nine invisible characters and a few other things that show up when you use View, Show Invisibles. So this can help you find the situation where you put too many spaces between words and easily get rid of them and make sure you just have one. Right away you can see how this is useful because if I accidentally insert an extra space between two words you can see that there are two dots. But you can see them because they create a space between the characters around them. Space between words are characters just like any letter or number and usually they're completely invisible. The most obvious one that you can see is, of course, the Space. Here we could see the invisible characters as blue symbols. We do that and it will reveal all the invisible characters. You can see the shortcut is Shift, Command i. That is to go to View and then Show Invisibles. So looking at this document in Pages you can see there are tons of invisible characters.
