It means a literal space character.

Just for example, suppose you have fields FirstName and LastName
containing (say) "John" and "Vinson".

If you create a calculated field for display purposes by concatenating
those two fields

FullName: [FirstName] & [LastName]

you'll get a hard to read result JohnVinson.

If you use a literal string between them

FullName: [FirstName] & " " & [LastName]

you'll get a more readable "John Vinson".
