      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.
