    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

        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
