Small Spacing Tip

Something I just learned, and I thought maybe other people wouldn't know it either.

I was adding some Font Awesome icons to my menus to make them pop a little more.

But I noticed that the login icon was closer to the text than the menu icon was. Normally I'd just toss in a   to space it out a bit, but when i tried that it felt like it was too far away.

That's when I learned that there are HTML entities for other spacing options:   for a thin space, and   for an even smaller space. So I tried the thin space and voila.

Just right.

I've known about   for 25-ish years now, but where have the other two been all my life? 🤣
