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.
