Re: Modifying locales to use non-Roman numbers

There are two ways to do this:

1) Set the zero digit in DecimalFormatSymbols for the number formatter 
that you're using.
or
2) Add this to ar.txt. This is derived from the root locale data in ICU 
2.6, and the zero is changed to the "Arabic-Indic Digit Zero".  You may 
have to change the values for sub-locales too.  You should run "gmake 
check" to make sure that the change is correct.

    NumberElements { 
        ".",
        ",",
        ";",
        "%",
        "\u06F0",
        "#",
        "-",
        "E",
        "\u2030",
        "\u221E",
        "\uFFFD",
        ".",
    }

Hi all,

I filed Jitterbug 3112 so that the Arabic locales will format their
number based strings using Arabic numbers (u0060...) instead of the
Roman ones. Browsing through the locale data in data/locale I can't
figure out how to change this. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks,

Avery
