 Background: #10373, #15530.

 Reported by @denisco.

 In locales using a space as a thousands separator, it's replaced with
 ` ` to avoid wrapping, see [35884] / [35951] for #10373.

 In comments list table, when deleting a comment, the total comments count
 is updated via AJAX using jQuery `.text()` function, which doesn't allow
 HTML. See [17354] for #15530.

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Switch to a language where thousands separator is a space, e.g.
 Russian.
 2. Make sure you have a thousand or more comments.
 3. Go to the Comments screen and delete a comment.
 4. In the items count you'll see `1 000 items` or similar.

 The easiest solution would probably be to replace `text()` with `html()`.
 However, since this counter doesn't need any other HTML, I'm inclined to
 just account for the ` ` there.
