Unicode UTF-8 character

[Tim Cross <theophilusx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just want to check on what is the canonical correct way to solve this issue as I'm sure it has come up for others. 

I'm using emacspeak's epub functionality, which I really like and using eww to render the epub content. All is working vary nicely, except I've just found an issue with a whitespace unicode character. In one of the epub documents, emacspeak is speaking the full long name of a whitespace character. Looking at some of the variables, there seems to be a couple of places I could add this character to stop it from being spoken or translate what is spoken to something a little friendlier. Currently, emacspeak is speaking 

ZERO LL KHAH NUMBER CIRCLED TRIANGLE PI FA EQUAL EN NOON ZA

for this character. I would prefer it to say wither whitespace or space when you move the cursor over it and I would like it to be included in the list of whitespace characters so that it is not spoken when speaking the line etc. 

Do I just need to add this to the dtk-unicode-character-replacement-alist? Is there some other setting I need to use to make things work correctly (I do have preferred-coding-system set to 'utf-8). I'm runing emacs 25.1, ViaVoice and latest 

emacspeak from github.
