Unicode does not guarantee any space character to have the same advance width as U+0030 ZERO, which the ch unit is based on. It is entirely dependent on the typeface, and can be arbitrary.

The closest is U+2007 FIGURE SPACE, which is suggested to have the same width as a digit (not necessarily the digit zero), but again this depends entirely on the typeface having equal-width digits, which not all of them do.
