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.
