How do I make spacing around NSTextAttachments like in the example below?
In the example No spacing is the default behaviour I get when I append a NSTextAttachment to a NSAttributedString.

This worked for me in Swift
public extension NSMutableAttributedString {
func appendSpacing( points : Float ){
// zeroWidthSpace is 200B
let spacing = NSAttributedString(string: "\u{200B}", attributes:[ NSAttributedString.Key.kern: points])
append(spacing)
}
}
NSMutableAttributedString *attributedText = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] init];
// append NSTextAttachments instance to attributedText...
// then add non-printable string with NSKernAttributeName attributes
unichar c[] = { NSAttachmentCharacter };
NSString *nonprintableString = [NSString stringWithCharacters:c length:1];
NSAttributedString *spacing = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:nonprintableString attributes:@{
NSKernAttributeName : @(4) // spacing in points
}];
[attributedText appendAttributedString:spacing];
// finally add other text...
