Is it possible to style a single character within a span element to have a specific width and height of 1em? Ideally, I would like the character to be stretched if it is not already fixed-width.
This styling must support any character, including rare Unicode glyphs, so changing the font to Courier is not an option.
The solution should only involve CSS and should be simple and lightweight. For example, complex solutions involving tables and images are not acceptable.
I have not been able to find any property that achieves this through my online searches. If there is no simple solution, I may not implement a complex one, but I am still interested in hearing about it.
