Editing Basis point (section)

==Permyriad==
A related concept is one part per ten thousand, {{sfrac|10,000}}. The same unit is also (rarely) called a '''permyriad''', literally meaning "for (every) [[myriad]] (ten thousand)".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/myriad|title=myriad|website=www.merriam-webster.com|access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dictionary.com/browse/myriad|title=myriad|website=Dictionary.com|access-date=9 April 2018}}</ref>  If used interchangeably with basis point, the permyriad is potentially confusing because an increase of one basis point to a 10 basis point value is generally understood to mean an increase to 11 basis points; not an increase of one part in ten thousand, meaning an increase to 10.001 basis points. This is akin to the difference between [[percentage]] and [[percentage point]]. 

===Unicode===
A permyriad is written with {{unichar|2031|PER TEN THOUSAND SIGN|html=}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf|title=General Punctuation|publisher=[[The Unicode Consortium]]|access-date=17 Sep 2011}}</ref> which looks like a [[percent sign]] {{char|%}} with three zeroes to the right of the slash. (It can be regarded as a stylized form of the four zeros in the [[denominator]] of "{{sfrac|10,000}}", although it originates as a natural extension of the [[percent]] {{char|%}} and [[permille]] {{char|‰}} signs). There also exists an Arabic-Indic permyriad: {{unichar|060A||html=}}.
