A figure space or numeric space[1] is a typographic unit equal to the size of a single numerical digit. Its size can fluctuate somewhat depending on which font is being used. This is the preferred space to use in numbers. It has the same width as a digit and keeps the number together for the purpose of line breaking.[2]
Standard[edit]
In Unicode it is assigned U+2007 FIGURE SPACE. Its HTML character entity reference is  .
Baudot code may include a figure space. It is character 23 on the Hughes telegraph typewheel.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
