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