Sometimes you need to insert a blank space that is the width of a particular character or stretch of space. To do this, you will need to use the \texttt{phantom} command.
\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
\item \verb+\phantom+~ inserts an empty box with the same dimensions (horizontal as well as vertical) as the argument.
\item \verb+\hphantom+~ inserts an empty box that has zero height, zero depth, but the width of its argument.
\item \verb+\vphantom+~ inserts an empty box that has the height and depth of the argument, but zero width.
\end{itemize}
\textit{height} is the length above the baseline and \textit{depth} is the length below the baseline. A character such as ``w'' will have a height but zero depth, and ``y'' has height as well as depth.
