Alt+255 gives you an invisible character but I'm on a phone so I can't check if that fixes George.

It doesn't seem to work. Or I copied the wrong character.

A lot of front ends strip it out since it can be used in so many disruptive ways.
In my app I don't see the space normally, but when I reply to your comment it shows a focused view which DOES seem to show the space.
Replies, in most Lemmy (and previously Reddit) apps I've used generally show the "pure" markdown when replying, rather than the formatted variant.
If you reply to this comment you should see this line as being broken up.
and this line as having a few regular spaces in the front.
