Are there any editors that let you insert a Unit separator character as easily as a comma?
All of the programmable ones? ;-)

So that's a no then. ;0P
? Quite the contrary. It's more, "all the ones that any craftsman should be using".
A lot of excels and csvs are made by people other than programming crafters.
As with pretty much everything else computing, the world suffers because Microsoft has been dumping terrible tools on it for decades, and people just take their garbage as the way things have to be.
Excel has its advantages, but it is funny the tools people choose to work with. The number of times Access would make more sense...
Didn't they sunset Access in lieu of Power BI Apps or whatever the hell they're calling their shot at no code these days?
I mean, you'd have to be using a pretty terrible tool for it not being able to handle that, and I suspect if such an approach were to become prevalent, that tool would either fix the glitch or become largely unused.
