My tab renders as: " > ". I still consider it whitespace.

What turns into whitespace due to rendering? Just because my font lacks that symbol doesn't mean it is whitespace.

One example is a field that clips its contents to contain zalgo, but inadvertantly to the point where some glyphs can render completely out of bounds. Sometimes the clipping is so egregious that even descenders of normal letters like 'g' get cut off. (This is more common than you'd think.)
