Default Excel's localization of scientific notation

Does Excel use "E+" and "E-" for scientific notation for all locales?
Or are there some locales for which it uses different characters?


Thanks,

Greg

I'm pretty sure that the E is universal. If it were not, it would have been
in the list of international symbols. Look here for more info about
