Convert strings to numeric after normalising minus signs and stripping digit grouping separators

Replaces Unicode minus signs ("\u2212") with ASCII "-", removes either commas or spaces used as digit grouping (thousands) separators, then converts the result to numeric. Non-convertible values return NA with warnings suppressed.

Usage
