Well, I would presume that even if we output space, it's sort of typographic
adjustment and not blank as a character but as you wish, I can easily return
2 chars instead of 1 for guillemets.
What libreoffice/word think about this situation?

This is getting more tricky, because we generaly do look on the context when we
counting the characters (except of catching blanks/.?/etc around words).
