::@[[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]], that wouldn't work unless you want to list a conversion, though, right? The specific example that prompted this request doesn't fall into that category (see [[Special:Diff/1154043077|this diff]]), nor do many others. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> ^{[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]} 22:00, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

== Non-ASCII numeric delimiter ==

This is probably not so important for enwiki, but people are copying the module to other wikis and might find it useful. When the <code>["numeric"]["delimiter"]</code> in [[Module:Wd/i18n]] is set to a non-7bit-ASCII value (for example, to <code>mw.ustring.char(0x202f)</code>, [[narrow no-break space]]) the <code>:reverse</code> method reverses UTF character bytes in

:<code style="font-size:90%">return left .. (num:reverse():gsub("(%d%d%d)", "%1" .. p['numeric']['delimiter'])''':reverse())''' .. right</code>

A quick solution is to first use some symmetric ascii-7 ''improbable'' character combination, such as <code>!@!</code>:

:<code style="font-size:90%">local temp_delimiter = (num:reverse():gsub("(%d%d%d)", "%1" .. "!@!"):reverse())</code>

:<code style="font-size:90%">return left .. temp_delimiter:gsub("!@!", p['numeric']['delimiter']) .. right</code>
