Bug Description

Please add more white space symbols between number and unit in sort -h. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character for Unicode (utf-8) encoding in locale.

For example
echo -e "1 Gb\n1 MB" |sort -h
should return
1 MB
1 Gb
where between '1' and 'MB' is Unicode's U+202F narrow no-break space (HTML:  ).
