U+002E = FULL STOP U+002C = COMMA There is no question at all in Unicode about how these two characters have to be rendered. Their rendering is locale independent. There was discussion long ago about adding a "decimal separator" character to Unicode, but the idea was considered unnecessary and confusing and therefore dropped. ISO has in the past suggested to use a tiny downwards-facing triangle that is around the size of a full stop or comma as a culturally neutral glyph for a decimal separator key, but that too has not caught on.
