<00A0> should be used in this case, as do many other locales as well.

Perhaps you want to see whether that's doable, please see the Locales wiki page
which has a link to a page describing LC_NUMERIC and grouping in detail. The
page contains also information on how to test and submit your locale changes.

Thanks.
