English term or phrase: Spacing between number and % sign.

Is it always necessary to place a space between a number and % sign even when such number (5 %) is not in a sentence form? Can you write 5% alone in a chart not in a sentence form without the space in between or is it always necessary when putting a number and % together when written for Swedish speakers? *PLEASE RESPOND IN ENGLISH*
