Editing Decimal separator (section)

==Influence of calculators and computers==
In countries with a decimal comma, the decimal point is also common as the "international" notation{{citation needed|date=May 2022}} because of the influence of devices, such as [[electronic calculator]]s, which use the decimal point. Most computer [[operating systems]] allow selection of the decimal separator; programs that have been carefully [[i18n|internationalized]] will follow this, but some programs ignore it and a few may even fail to operate if the setting has been changed.

Computer interfaces may be set to the Unicode international "Common locale" using {{code| LC_NUMERIC{{=}}C }} as defined at {{cite web |title=Unicode CLDR project |website=[[Unicode Consortium]] |url=http://cldr.unicode.org/index}} Details of the current (2020) definitions may be found at {{cite web |title=01102-POSIX15897 |website=[[Unicode Consortium]] |url=http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2001/01102-POSIX15897.htm}}
