Generally, for the decimal point . (U+002E FULLSTOP) and , (U+002C

different notation, such as the common British raised dot which
centers with the lining digits (i.e. that would be U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT).

The different dot-like characters are quite a mess, but the case of British 
raised dot is simple: it is regarded as typographic variant of FULL STOP.
