Steven,

One of the new small things in Mathematica 6 (so it seems) is the non-printing character \[LetterSpace]. The alias is Esc_Esc (Esc underscore Esc).

Try this (on diferent Input cells):

x\[LetterSpace]y

x\[LetterSpace]y//Head

x\[LetterSpace]y=1

x\[LetterSpace]y+1

Clear[x\[LetterSpace]y]

Hope this might help you in some way.
