Is it possible to get a reduced space character in a text?

How can I change the full size of the space character to half in a legend? I need it in between numbers and a unit. For example after the number 1: t=1 s.

thin = char(8201); %https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_space
phrase = sprintf('The event lasted %.3f%ss', pi, thin);
plot(1:10);
legend(phrase)

I just tested R2017a on Mac OS-X (El Capitan); I cannot be sure that the space was thin, but I saw no black line.
You could also experiment with char(8239), the non-breaking thin space.
Another way:
phrase = sprintf('The event lasted %.3f\\,s', pi);
plot(1:10);
leg = legend(phrase);
leg.Interpreter = 'latex';
