[Encoding: utf-8]:

I should look up the history of word separators in WWS.

Specimen: <http://www.leadership-training.net/jobs/> (As to subject
matter, scam probability is rather high, btw.)

Afaik, hyphens, centered dots, or other marks as word separators have not
been used in European languages for many centuries, but I really don't
know. (Note also a missing "t" in the title block.)

What I find intriguing is that some borderline-literate people in the USA
within my lifetime (I'm 68) have used hyphens as word separators. These
people probably wrote only in block caps, and had tolerable spelling
ability. The cultural persistence, if that is what it is, seems quite
remarkable.

[Explicit space symbols]

Fwiw, when I need to indicate an explicit space code (such as when writing
the exact form of a character string in computer work), I use the OPEN
BOX, U+2423 [ ␣ ]. I first saw it in a[n] European book in English about
Modula-2, the programming language; it might have been pub. by
Springer-Verlag.

Back in tab ("IBM") card days, I remember using the BLANK SYMBOL [␢],
U+2422, to indicate an explicit space, most likely on a coding form to be
submitted for keypunching and verifying.
