You can already paste the corresponding Unicode character: ␣ 2423 OPEN BOX * graphic for space and it is rendered fine (if supported by the screen font which is the case with DejaVu). Also, it is converted to \textvisiblespace for LaTeX export in unicodesymbols. But like many more supported characters it is missing in the Insert>Sonderzeichen>Symbol list. IMV this is only a leftover from the pre-Unicode days. Also, I have a patch for the math guide to replace the ERT with the Unicode character. Günter
