Type a space. It works. (You mean you didn't try it before asking? Tsk. ;-))
I even block subjects containing " " (no quotes).

Most other text fields (e,g, in contacts) remove leading and trailing
spaces, but not Rules.

You should have a Match <if ANY>, and as well as

<Subject> <Contains> <iCal >

you should also have

<Subject> <Ends with> <iCal>

because that one won't have a space at the end.

Neither will catch "technical".
