    I like go in add spaces between the value and the unit in documents other people have prepared, when they write 50°C or something. The standard says there should be a space: 50 °C

    Non-breaking spaces, even better in my opinion 😘👌

    (Alt+0,1,6,0 on the numpad for all my homies using Windows at work)

    Don’t get me started on people using O’s with super script to get degrees, drives me nuts. (Alt+2,4,8, or find it in the MS Word symbols menu ffs)

      On platforms that support it (Reddit definitely did, and I suspect Lemmy will), you can enter the nonbreaking space with  . 0 mg.

        Pretty sure all platforms support no break space, just that you have to go copy the unicode character if you don’t have a shortcut for it

        It’s U+00A0

          Sorry for the late reply, I don’t use this account very often.

          But by “it”, I meant “entering characters using the HTML entity code”. But I can see how my comment could have been interpreted to mean the nbsp itself.

        My main point was leaving space between values and units. And know many of us have no choice but to use MS at work haha

        I better not catch you not leaving space between your values and units no matter the writing software
