the "′0"s in the percentage symbol "%" aren't touching the "/". is it one or 3 symbols?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Or the question mark, exclamation mark, etc.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago

Yes.

It is either one or three symbols.

[-] hondacivic@lem.sabross.xyz 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

so 6 is one and two symbols then.

but when you search a tiny bit online you end up reading this

The percent sign % is the symbol used to indicate a percentage, a number or ratio as a fraction of 100.

confusing, there's no right or wrong.

Using the same argument, 10 is one symbol. It is the "ten" symbol.

I’m just pointing out that it makes no sense to say that this system allows writing any number as one symbol.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.
