+In ''[[NetHack]]'', a blank '''space''' serves the following purposes:
-* {{black|&nbsp;}} represents [[ghost (monster class)|ghosts]].
 ** {{monsymlink|ghost}}
 ** {{monsymlink|shade}}
-* Because space (" ") is invisible, some players change the character of ghosts and shades to another symbol, such as X or the number eight ("[[Unused symbols|8]]").
+** Some players use the [[Option#symset|SYMBOLS]] option to give ghosts and shades a different appearance, such as {{white|X}} or {{white|8}}.
 * Press {{kbd|space}} at the <tt>--More--</tt> prompt to get the next messages or screen.
 * The [[rest_on_space]] option causes the command {{kbd|space}} to rest, the same as {{kbd|.}}. This is generally viewed as extremely dangerous, as one too many presses of space as messages pass by can cause [[YASD]].
