32 /**
33  * <code>Region</code> is the class representing a Unicode Region Code, also known as a
34  * Unicode Region Subtag, which is defined based upon the BCP 47 standard. We often think of
35  * "regions" as "countries" when defining the characteristics of a locale.  Region codes There are different
36  * types of region codes that are important to distinguish.
37  * <p>
38  *  Macroregion - A code for a "macro geographical (continental) region, geographical sub-region, or
39  *  selected economic and other grouping" as defined in
40  *  UN M.49 (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm).
41  *  These are typically 3-digit codes, but contain some 2-letter codes, such as the LDML code QO
42  *  added for Outlying Oceania.  Not all UNM.49 codes are defined in LDML, but most of them are.
43  *  Macroregions are represented in ICU by one of three region types: WORLD ( region code 001 ),
44  *  CONTINENTS ( regions contained directly by WORLD ), and SUBCONTINENTS ( things contained directly
45  *  by a continent ).
46  *  <p>
47  *  TERRITORY - A Region that is not a Macroregion. These are typically codes for countries, but also
48  *  include areas that are not separate countries, such as the code "AQ" for Antarctica or the code
49  *  "HK" for Hong Kong (SAR China). Overseas dependencies of countries may or may not have separate
50  *  codes. The codes are typically 2-letter codes aligned with the ISO 3166 standard, but BCP47 allows
51  *  for the use of 3-digit codes in the future.
52  *  <p>
53  *  UNKNOWN - The code ZZ is defined by Unicode LDML for use to indicate that the Region is unknown,
54  *  or that the value supplied as a region was invalid.
55  *  <p>
56  *  DEPRECATED - Region codes that have been defined in the past but are no longer in modern usage,
57  *  usually due to a country splitting into multiple territories or changing its name.
58  *  <p>
59  *  GROUPING - A widely understood grouping of territories that has a well defined membership such
60  *  that a region code has been assigned for it.  Some of these are UNM.49 codes that do't fall into
61  *  the world/continent/sub-continent hierarchy, while others are just well known groupings that have
62  *  their own region code. Region "EU" (European Union) is one such region code that is a grouping.
63  *  Groupings will never be returned by the getContainingRegion() API, since a different type of region
64  *  ( WORLD, CONTINENT, or SUBCONTINENT ) will always be the containing region instead.
65  *
66  * The Region class is not intended for public subclassing.
