Recommended character for thousands separator?

I started a discussion in the Decimal mark talk page, because I doubt Unicode Thin Space is recommended by anybody (or is appropriate) as a thousands separator, and hence I wonder which character should be used. Please discuss there if you deem appropriate (so that discussions are centralized).--OlivierMiR (talk) 13:00, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding 'thousand separator' just follow ISO and use 'Space' (U+0020) or 'no-break space' (U+00A0) or any thin space. Using a 'thin space' will force you to check if the fonts can display it!! (Example: U+2009 does not work for Verdana, but U+202F is OK). Anyway, the 'thousand separator' has only visual importance! (In a source-code a Remove-White-Spaces-function can easily clean-up!).

As for the 'Decimal separator' ISO tells us to use either ',' or '.'.

So: if you read '$1,234.567', then this means $1234 and a bit.

The most right placed separator takes precedence! 115.72.174.205 (talk) 10:05, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
