why is it not categorised as white space then? or is it? doesn't look
like it is to me, but i'm not sure how to actually find out for sure.
Well, um, it's not white: there is a dot in it.

For example I would not be shocked if a text using it was rendered with
a monospaced font, where the base line of the character cell shows
multiple tiny dots, that create a contiguous dotted line when multiple
U+2024 characters (one per display cell) are used

Michael,
As a typesetter on Mac OS X, I see no reason to abandon the use of
the three-dotted horizontal ellipsis character, Ken.
Nor do I. It is fine for ellipses...
And it was encoded for that. But in encodings which don't have
an ellipsis character, it is roughly comparable to a sequence

That last fact should be taken as a hint that for most
purposes, manual leaders should just be sequences of FULL STOP
characters (as you will see, for instance in the plain text
representations of Internet Drafts or RFCs, for example).
But in any rich

Investigating some fonts, I found in a version of Adobe Garamond Pro
the U+2024 ONE DOT LEADER glyph being a dot symmetrically preceded
and followed by a tiny space.
In the same font, the U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS glyph has a tiny
space (smaller than in the U+2024 glyph) before each of the three
