Problem
I thought there was a way to insert a space that’s the width of punctuation, such as a period or comma (similar to Esc spacebar m for em space, Esc spacebar t for thin space, etc.). I found the Unicode for it is x2008. I’ve tried (and had other people) try this, holding down Alt and typing 2008 on the numeric keypad. We get a character that looks like a long equal sign with a vertical line through it.

First, if you haven’t already, you need to turn on the unicode keypad. It’s turned off in Windows by default. Use regedit to find the key “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method”. Right-click on it, choose New and then String to create a new string called “EnableHexNumpad” with a value of “1”. (Don’t type the quotes.) REBOOT. Don’t forget to reboot!
Now, you will be able to type unicode characters by holding down the left-alt key and simultaneously pressing the plus sign on the keypad, and then (while still holding down the left-alt key) enter the unicode character. Then release the left-alt key. (Note that the right-alt key does not work for this.)
So, for your example you would hold down your Left-Alt key, and then (simultaneously) on the numeric pad:
press +
press 2
press 0
press 0
press 8
and then release the Alt key. Some Unicode characters have the hex letters a to f in them. Simply enter them from the main keyboard (while still holding down the Left-Alt key).
PLEASE NOTE that the punctuation space that you want to enter will ONLY appear if the font you are using contains it as a defined character. (Most fonts do not.)
Solution 2
There’s also this, which I haven’t tested: http://www.fileformat.info/tool/unicodeinput/index.htm and this, which I have used a fair amount: http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html
BabelMap is useful because it does show the existence (or not) of particular glyphs in a font. FM’s character palette lies to you, by substituting from a different font when it encounters glyphs lacking in the font you’re using. And it doesn’t bother telling you about the substitution.
Solution 3
Number space: Esc+<space>+1
Em space: Esc+<space>+m
En space: Esc+<space>+n
Thin space: Esc+<space>+t
You probably want thin space
Solution 4
The other space is the non-breaking space, which is a fixed space, and which (if you are converting to HTML, stays a non-breaking space ( ).
Ctrl+space to enter
\ (backslash-space) to search/replace.
