I wouldn't really call these watermarks. If these are watermarks, then someone might call the longer than usual dash a watermark, too:
Using identically displayed but differently encoded characters is a way to watermark texts. It was used in a lawsuit a few years ago (SZ-Bericht). The suing company eventually lost because they didn't actually own the rights to the texts they had watermarked.
As @luckystarr@feddit.org points out, these whitespaces may make quite a difference, so not likely to be a watermark. Methods for watermarking LLM-generated Text are more subtle anyway, involving altering word frequencies.
Halbgeviertstrich?
Nein, der Geviertstrich
