That's OK. Actually, Michael Kaplan put the space in there and you
just picked it up.
I'm more concerned with the misinformation than the typo. It's
happened a couple of times where someone has written in that the
font isn't OpenType.
If anyone on Windows platforms wants to check whether a font
is OpenType, Microsoft has a free download called TTFEXT.EXE
which reveals extended font properties when a font's icon is
right clicked. Along with OpenType and code page information,
this program reveals a font's licensing and copyright information.

Sure, sometimes Windows defaults to a less appropriate font if you select
one that can show a particular script.

I'm sceptical about that. (Or, as this might appear in any font
which lacks Latin: ▯▯▯ ▯▯▯▯▯▯▯▯▯ ▯▯▯▯▯ ▯▯▯▯. )
