20 * \brief C API: UNumberingSystem, information about numbering systems
21 *
22 * Defines numbering systems. A numbering system describes the scheme by which
23 * numbers are to be presented to the end user. In its simplest form, a numbering
24 * system describes the set of digit characters that are to be used to display
25 * numbers, such as Western digits, Thai digits, Arabic-Indic digits, etc., in a
26 * positional numbering system with a specified radix (typically 10).
27 * More complicated numbering systems are algorithmic in nature, and require use
28 * of an RBNF formatter (rule based number formatter), in order to calculate
29 * the characters to be displayed for a given number. Examples of algorithmic
30 * numbering systems include Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and Hebrew numerals.
31 * Formatting rules for many commonly used numbering systems are included in
32 * the ICU package, based on the numbering system rules defined in CLDR.
33 * Alternate numbering systems can be specified to a locale by using the
34 * numbers locale keyword.
