For these units of measure, one follows the print spacing. One note: if the abbreviation is printed unspaced after a number, use the English letter indicator (dots 5-6) in front of the abbreviation. This rule holds for all six of the abbreviations except for the inch sign (since it is preceded by a dot 4).
