    If a number has a space intentionally inserted to divide it into short regular groups of digits, would this be transcribed in UEB or Nemeth?

    For example, 809347621 is shown as 809 347 621.

    Thank you, Teresa, for your question.

    I would say that since there are specific Nemeth Code rules for a numeral that is divided into segments (Nemeth Code sections 19 & 11.c), the example you describe should be transcribed in Nemeth Code.

    Thanks, Kyle.

    That was my thought, but wanted a second opinion.

    Does that mean you would never use the UEB numeric space in a UEB/Nemeth transcription?

    Yes, I would say that.  I would never use a UEB numeric space in a transcription using Nemeth within a UEB context.

    Thank you for asking.
