And if it isn't, then what is it instead?
The reason I'm wondering is because I read on a gaming forum that inserting a space into your login name should make it unreadable for keylogging devices.
And it's not on any of the Windows Character Maps.

In ASCII it would seem to be 32... I'm kind of chuffed at how geeky I was to kinda remember that... and now I'm thinking maybe 10 was a differnt* kind of space... or an 'enter' or page break type space, but I coudln't find anything on that...

Thanks 2legs and Danny B!
So do you think there's any truth in the statement that keyloggers can't pick up space when used within a login name?

chr(10) is a line feed character, used as (under) (or part) the end of line marker. Return is chr(13).
As to whether space is a character, well, that depends on the framework. I mean in printed or written documents I'd say it isn't, it is lack of a character. Otherwise a blank piece of paper would be considered full of text, which it isn't. Like a vacuum isn't a something, it is a lack of something (well, anything actually).
On a computer display however every screen text position has to have a value and if there is blank space then that value is 32 so it is a character it just doesn't have any pigmented pixels.
There's also chr(160) from extended ascii which is a hard space. That is 'even more' of a character than the normal space since it doesn't get concatenated or used as a line split.

Depends on the actual keylogger - but in general programming terms, no. Doesn't make a blind bit of difference.

just wondering - anyone recall the method for inserting ascii characters into posts? Thought it was just   or whatever but doesn't seem to work.

And if you're on a laptop without a numeric keypad you can just copy and paste.

On my keyboard you get the accented characters á é í ó ú by holding down Ctrl and Alt, then typing the vowels. It doesn't work for y though.

In HTML, there are several 'spaces'
==> a non-breaking space (typically implemented by noobs using so-called WYSIWGs - aka WYSIWTFs)
  ==> a space the width of one en (the letter n)
  ==> a space the width of one em (the letter m) - ems are used in CSS for 'relative' (cf absolute) padding and margins
And... if that ain't too geeky, check out Whitespace - http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/
Although it was released on 01 April 2003, it's a 'real' programming language - with its own 'Hello World': http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/name.ws

I've been doing this recently in java, (we were writing a program that encrypts strings)
Unfortunately, not much point in me saying the same as everyone else
