numpunct<> specifies numeric punctuation.
The specializations required in Table 104 ([locale.category]), namely numpunct<​wchar_t> and numpunct<char>, provide classic "C" numeric formats, i.e., they contain information equivalent to that contained in the "C" locale or their wide character counterparts as if obtained by a call to widen.

#
The syntax for number formats is as follows, where digit represents the radix set specified by the fmtflags argument value, and thousands-sep and decimal-point are the results of corresponding numpunct<charT> members.
Integer values have the format:
intval:
sign units
sign:
+
-
units:
digits
digits thousands-sep units
digits:
digit digits
and floating-point values have:
floatval:
sign units fractional exponent
sign decimal-point digits exponent
fractional:
decimal-point digits
exponent:
e sign digits
e:
e
E
where the number of digits between thousands-seps is as specified by do_grouping().
For parsing, if the digits portion contains no thousands-separators, no grouping constraint is applied.

30.4.4.1.2 Members [facet.numpunct.members]

🔗
char_type decimal_point() const;
1
#
Returns: do_decimal_point().
🔗
char_type thousands_sep() const;
2
#
Returns: do_thousands_sep().
🔗
string grouping() const;
3
#
Returns: do_grouping().
🔗
string_type truename() const; string_type falsename() const;
4
#
Returns: do_truename() or do_falsename(), respectively.

30.4.4.1.3 Virtual functions [facet.numpunct.virtuals]

🔗
char_type do_decimal_point() const;
1
#
Returns: A character for use as the decimal radix separator.
The required specializations return '.' or L'.'.
🔗
char_type do_thousands_sep() const;
2
#
Returns: A character for use as the digit group separator.
The required specializations return ',' or L','.
🔗
string do_grouping() const;
3
#
Returns: A string vec used as a vector of integer values, in which each element vec[i] represents the number of digits252 in the group at position i, starting with position 0 as the rightmost group.
If vec.size() <= i, the number is the same as group (i - 1); if (i < 0 || vec[i] <= 0 || vec[i] == CHAR_MAX), the size of the digit group is unlimited.
4
#
The required specializations return the empty string, indicating no grouping.
🔗
string_type do_truename() const; string_type do_falsename() const;
5
#
Returns: A string representing the name of the boolean value true or false, respectively.
6
#
In the base class implementation these names are "true" and "false", or L"true" and L"false".

Thus, the string "\003" specifies groups of 3 digits each, and "3" probably indicates groups of 51 (!) digits each, because 51 is the ASCII value of "3".
