--- Comment #3 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
SvxZoomStatusBarControl::ImplUpdateItemText() calls unicode::formatPercent()
which starts with the comment

//Format a number as a percentage according to the rules of the given
//language, e.g. 100 -> "100%" for en-US vs "100 %" for de-DE

Now I wonder why ICU defines no space between number and unit while the usual
English typography does according
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_(punctuation)#Unit_symbols_and_numbers.

Eike, what's your take?
