Javascript line-height Property with ██████
I'm trying to, with a matrix (to represent black and white) display a QR code on a webpage (<p></p>). I'm using the ████ characters to display such, but even when the CSS property of the line-height is 0px, I still cannot remove all gaps (and the QR code doesn't read). My code and resulting image:
var dateTime = new Date("Nov 11, 2019, 11:40:30").getTime();
var width = 195;
var height = 20;
var qrCode = [[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],

Solution
Horizontal gaps are most likely just likely space between lines. Setting line-height to equal value as font-size (or just unitless 1). Simple examples:
- just monospace blocks, no gaps but more rectangular and possibly light bleeding between blocks:
<div style="
white-space: pre;
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
">
███████
█ █
█ ███ █
█ ███ █
█ ███ █
█ █
███████
</div>- more square and less bleeding could be made with doubled characters stuck together with negative
letter-spacing:
<div style="
white-space: pre;
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
letter-spacing: -2px;
">
