How can I set line spacing with CSS, like we can set it in MS Word?

Yup, as everyone's saying, line-height is the thing. Any font you are using, a mid-height character (such as a or ■, not going through the upper or lower) should go with the same height-length at line-height: 0.6 to 0.65.

<div style="line-height: 0.65; font-family: 'Fira Code', monospace, sans-serif">
aaaaa<br>
aaaaa<br>
aaaaa<br>
aaaaa<br>
aaaaa
</div>
<br>
<br>

<div style="line-height: 0.6; font-family: 'Fira Code', monospace, sans-serif">
■■■■■■■■■■<br>
■■■■■■■■■■<br>
■■■■■■■■■■<br>
■■■■■■■■■■<br>

lineSpacing is used in React Native (or native mobile apps).

For web you can use letterSpacing (or letter-spacing)
