There's a clever font that uses ligatures to achieve what you're suggesting.

Aha. Numderline. h/t @bla3
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
It's sad to say, but there's a strong correlation between "good programmer" and "formats things in fixed width using ``` in slack".

Is it possible to split with CSS so that when copied it won't have spaces?
Yep, you can use separate HTML elements, the key bit is to keep the closing and opening tags directly adjacent with no whitespace or newlines, example https://jsfiddle.net/z65qwuvp/1/
For example, if you need to show me on a website my CBU, international account number which is 24 numbers long, please, don't show them like this:
345234234665232423247322
Show it instead like this:
3452 3423 4665 2324 2324 7322
It is much much easier to read.
90~95% of the time were numbers (or even characters!) are listed, nobody splits them.
This I learned in Isaac Asimov's book "Asimov on Numbers" IIRC. Great book by the way.
