Hello,
What Unicode character can replace "\,"?
"NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE" is too small:
\starttext
\|\,\| \type{\,}\par
\| \| THIN SPACE (U+2009) (why smaller than \type{\,}?)\par
\| \| NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE (U+202F) (why almost nothing?)\par
\|\| nothing\par
\|~\| \type{~}\par
\| \| NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0) (seems ok to me)
\stoptext
TIA for any hints!

Peter

No, there is a line break:
\starttext
\hsize1pt
bla\sixperemspace bla
\stoptext

well, it's a space and therefore a valid breakpoint (i.e. it's not
\sixperemnonbreakspace)

So the answer is "no, there is no unicode equivalent for \," ?
What about NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE ? About 1 or 2 years ago, it was the
same width as \, but now it's much smaller. Is the actual version the
correct one?
Comment from http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202f/ :
"a narrow form of a no-break space, typically the width of a thin space
or a mid space"

all those lovely incompatible names ... anyhow, so you want em/8 instead
of space/8 ..

It would be nice. But probably, you had a reason to change it to
space/8, didn't you?

Not really ... some time ago the code dealing with those spaces was
adapted to deal with tagging and at that point some decisions were made
(after all, these things were not available in mkii so untill code gets
cleaned up and stabelizes antything can happen).
