Searching for 'space' yields a largely empty page where one has to hunt for invisible characters by clicking around :-(

Space characters (and non-graphical characters in general) should be shown in some way that gives a visible click target.

Mockup

Looks like a good start, Daiki.

The backgrounds look a bit dark and heavy to me. Also: it would be good to show the actual shape of the blank character - that's often the information that the user needs.

See attached mockup.
