Add alt text.

Additional information

I was trying to copy the instructions from https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/how-tos/organization-membership/publicizing-or-hiding-organization-membership into an email:

In the upper-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture, then click  Organizations.

Click the name of your organization.

Under your organization name, click  People.

Screenshot of the horizontal navigation bar for an organization. A tab, labeled with a person icon and "People," is outlined in dark orange.
Locate your username in the list of members. If the list is large, you can search for your username in the search box.

Next to your username, select the visibility dropdown menu, then click a new visibility.

To publicize your membership, choose Public.
To hide your membership, choose Private.
Screenshot of an entry in the list of organization members. Next to the username, a dropdown menu, labeled "Private", is outlined in dark orange.

What I got (in each instance) was a doubled space:

In the upper-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture, then click__Organizations.
...
Under your organization name, click__People.

It's useful for people reading the text I copied to know that the instructions were actually talking about an icon. But instead, it just looks like I wrote two spaces for no particular reason.
