It isn't. The Extended Naming Rules (ENR) TC makes it possible to deal with the many additional characters, but doesn't prescribe what additional characters should go into any class of characters modifiable in a concrete syntax. You can include or not include this special space character in the same way that a tab is included in whitespace in the reference concrete syntax.
