Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

I loaded a .py file into N++ and see them.  Under 3 x, there are clearly 
separate minidots.  Under 10x, the dots are hardly visible.  They are not 
characters in the text (cannot be copied) but a special manipulation of the 
column of pixels 'between' spaces.  This must be a built-in feature of to the 
text widget.  I suspect it involves special subpixel manipulation, perhaps 
requiring information from the monitor.  AFAIK, Tk widgets do not have this 
feature.  Unless there is a unicode char consisting of light dots on the very 
edge, we cannot even simulate this.
