A sort of citation is wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
In Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Romania, Sweden and much of Europe: 1 234
567,89 or 1.234.567,89 (in handwriting, 1˙234˙567,89 is also seen[citation
needed], but never in Denmark or Sweden).

Notice that at primary school, my math teacher used ˙ (COMBINIG DOT ABOVE),
while during the following courses nothing was used (just because the thousands
separator is not mandatory, I imagine). I've also seen the space and the full
stop used.

I'm trying to find this in online newspapers, but they seem to prefer using the
word "thousands" instead of the full number

Well, this text says it's a space or a decimal point.  Not the character you
expect to use.

Another negative is that this combining character is used for something
completely different.  You likely want something like U00B7.  U0307 is
transliterated to "".  But even that isn't correct according to your source.

Either provide additional justification or I'll close this.
