Numbers Check for CJK Languages

Question

In a language that does not have a space before/after a numeral, the Numbers Check flags each one as an error. I have not seen a way in the Number Settings dialog to allow for no spaces before/after numbers. Is there a way to allow for this so that each one is not flagged as an error?

What happens if you put zero width spaces on either side of the numbers?

Never mind - I tried that and it didn’t work. You might try some other character?

I tested it by typing in 200B ALT+X on each side of a number. I verified in the Character Inventory that the zero width space character was indeed there. But it still gets flagged as an error.

I’m not sure if this would work for you, but using the ~ as a no-break space does work. If you put ~ on either side of the number it should recognize the number.

Thanks, anon848905. I’ll have to give that some thought.
