XeLaTeX: There is no (U+0020) in font SimpleIcons Filtered

[Rimole]

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{simpleicons}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

compiled with XeLaTeX gives:

Missing character: There is no (U+0020) in font SimpleIcons Filtered!
Missing character: There is no (U+0020) in font SimpleIcons Filtered/OT!
Missing character: There is no (U+0020) in font SimpleIcons Filtered/OT:language=dflt;!
Missing character: There is no (U+0020) in font SimpleIcons Filtered/OT:language=dflt;!

Compiling with LuaLaTeX or pdfLaTeX does not give any of these errors.

Is this related to #17? I hope this is resolved is v9.3.0 if you'd like to confirm

This bug seems to be fixed in v9.4.0.

When compiling (with XeLaTeX) the document given in my first post, I still get:

Sorry, I was wrong, Rimole's previous comment is correct!

So we can close this?

[Rimole]

@raffaem No, the issue is still there. Just compile the example using XeLaTeX and see the log for yourself.

Looking at SimpleIcons.otf with FontForge, it shows that U+0020, the space character, is indeed not defined there. Also 0009 (tab), 000A (linefeed), 000D (carriage return), 00A0 (non-breaking space) and some others are missing. Maybe at least those named here can be copied from another free font? They are just space characters, after all.
