I read it as 6950 too. Maybe spell out 6 or use something as a separator (- or x or *) maybe.

  lol I'm not sure where I learned it but long ago I was taught to write out numbers that are ten or less, and this is probably the first time I've seen a case where it would have actually prevented confusion

  I don't mind using "×" myself in these cases. "6 × 950", and had I been writing properly I should have been using non-breaking spaces.

    I am fond of the multiplication character too, but 1) it's not on any standard keyboard layout 2) it requires copying and pasting from a character map, alt code or html entity 3) it is usually reserved for mathematics

      On AZERTY keyboards on Linux, I can use Alt Gr + ; (semicolon) to type ×.

        Another option; <compose-key>xx ⇒ ×
