Hi,

[[:space:]] includes the following unicode character.
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/00a0/index.htm

$ echo 'a b' | grep 'a[[:space:]]b'
a b
$ echo 'a b'|xxd
00000000: 61c2 a062 0a                             a..b.

Where is this info documented for grep?

Are these all the possible white space characters?

You can check for yourself.
In every one of the 818 locales installed on a Fedora 27 system, I see
the same five bytes:

$ perl -e 'print pack ("C*", 0..255);'|grep -ao '[[:space:]]'|tr -d
'\n' |od -ac -An
  ht  vt  ff  cr  sp
  \t  \v  \f  \r
