0x80 if I remember correctly.
There were sixteen block-graphics characters, remember? They
each were subdivided into four quadrants, each of which could
be either black or white, according to the low order four bits
of the codepoint. The all-white block-graphics character was
visually indistinguishable from space, but was NOT space.
Of course ZX80 characters did not, in general, have
properties, but line breaking algorithms looked for character
0x00, not character 0x80, and so graphic-space behaved like a
non-space, not like a space.
