What is Word divider?

In punctuation, a word divider is a glyph that separates written words. In languages which use the Latin, Cyrillic, and Arabic alphabets, as well as other scripts of Europe and West Asia, the word divider is a blank space, or whitespace. This convention is spreading, along with other aspects of European punctuation, to Asia and Africa, where words are usually written without word separation.

In computing, the word delimiter is used to refer to a character that separates two words.

In character encoding, word segmentation depends on which characters are defined as word dividers.
