quote_space is just to decide if values that have space(s) are to be considered for quotation and has nothing to do with anything else.

$ perl -MText::CSV_XS -wE'Text::CSV_XS->new({binary=>1,auto_diag=>1,qu
+ote_space=>0,eol=>"\n"})->print(*STDOUT,[undef,""," ",1,"a b "])'
,, ,1,a b
$ perl -MText::CSV_XS -wE'Text::CSV_XS->new({binary=>1,auto_diag=>1,qu
+ote_space=>1,eol=>"\n"})->print(*STDOUT,[undef,""," ",1,"a b "])'
,," ",1,"a b "

There is no option (yet) to prevent quotation for (valid) UTF8 other than the aforementioned undef, which will disable quotation altogether, which is wrong in most cases.

$ perl -MText::CSV_XS -C3 -wE'Text::CSV_XS->new({binary=>1,auto_diag=>
+1,quote_space=>0,eol=>"\n"})->print(*STDOUT,[undef,""," ",1,"a b ","\
+x{20ac}"])'
,, ,1,a b ,"€"
$ perl -MText::CSV_XS -C3 -wE'Text::CSV_XS->new({binary=>1,auto_diag=>
+1,quote_space=>1,eol=>"\n"})->print(*STDOUT,[undef,""," ",1,"a b ","\
+x{20ac}"])'
,," ",1,"a b ","€"

Would you be so kind to explain why quotation around Unicode strings is wrong in your perception? In theory, quotation never harms.
