After you enter these characters, if you type "C-h l" (that's the
letter ell, not the digit one), what does Emacs show in the *Help*
buffer?

I don't have this input method installed, but if I just insert
manually the codepoints you show, I see no problems with the space
character insertion.  So it could be a problem with the input method?
