Capacitor Number clarification

[Cir cuit OBE]

Hi, i'm replacing the capacitor on a 25w extraction fan but i'm unsure to the number value written on the side.
It's a Ducati energia 16.15.79, white plastic cylindrical capacitor about 55mm long and 28mm diameter. It says 0,5uf which is what confused me.
Is it 5uf or 0.5uf? if the latter I can't seem to find one of the same size and look.
Does anyone know which is the correct cap and if so could you point me in the right direction with a link if possible?
Cant seem to upload a photo probably bc I've just registered but hope you can picture what it is.
Thanks

It will be 0.5μF.
Here is one. Albeit ridiculous postage.

In some European languages and technical writing, the decimal point is replaced by a comma.

Hi, thanks, that's the one but mine has only got two wires. Would also rather order one from within the UK.
Would've thought it would've been fairly common and freely available on ebay but doesn't seem to be.

I read somewhere that a comma was used to maximise the decimal point with the idea that if part of it was rubbed off it'd have a better chance of part of it still showing and minimise the chance of someone thinking it was a much higher value cap than it was. Dont know if true or not hence asking the original question. But now I know, Thanks.

Same....only in Martaine's photo there are 2 terminals for each single one on yours.

I did find one with the 2 wires and correct parameters in the end but thanks for the info on the terminals which i shall remember for next time.
