It is common practice in Demotic texts to uses white medium squares to indicate the white space between words / signs. Unicode point U+25FB might be a possiblity. Find a nice example.

This is marker for this phenomenon. Perhaps, looking at theDemotic Palaeographical Database Project, the practice is different there.

So perhaps this becomes less of a desideratum.

This is <space quantity="3" unit="character"/> which is what would be entered. This is displayed as vac.3 for Greek etc.

Based on the parent xml:lang we could choose to display ◻◻◻
