Sort of. They're zenkaku spaces, or so-called "Asian full width space"
characters. For reasons which are basically historical nonsense, whereas
the entire Latin alphabet using world gets by with one copy of the
alphabet (in lowercase and uppercase), CJKV
(Chinese-Japanese-Korean-Vietnamese) language processing requires two
different copies. These have no linguistic significance whatsoever, but
make money for lawyers or something like that.

Mitty, the problem is that your browser defaults to charset=Shift_JIS,
so you see nothing. If you test by switching to view in "Western" (欧文
if you can read this), you can find and remove. Alternatively, just
globally replace 全角スペース (zenkaku space) by 半角スペース (hankaku
space).
