No package that I know of does anything with these characters. But that's
not the correct syntax; either you put the actual characters in the first
argument, or write as Ulrike suggested

\newunicodechar{^^^^2009}{\,\hspace{0pt}}
\newunicodechar{^^^^202f}{\,}

Notice the lowercase f. Then any such character in your document will
translate to "breakable thin space" and "non breakable thin space"
respectively.

Ciao
