All-Off Character
The degree character (U+00B0)"°" is used as an "all-off" character - space with width equal to the rest of the characters. This is useful for padding.
°PAD° → ;;;;;°PAD°
Space-Width Colon
The width of the colon character (U+003A)":" and the space character (U+0020) are equal. This allows the characters to be switched to imitate the colon-blinking effect found on digital clocks.
23:45 → ;; ;;23:45
23 45 → ;; ;;23 45
No-Width Period
While the regular period character (U+002E)"." has a non-zero width, there is a character (U+00B1)"±" that acts as a period with zero font width. This allows the use of period-migration-expression, which is often used in calculators.
