Re: Currency Symbol in NumberFormat

Click this link:

http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html#!CwNumberFormat

Look for the ListBox in the top right corner of that page. Select
"English - India" from that list.

The page changes to:

http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html?locale=en_IN#!CwNumberFormat

Note this addition to the URL, indicating that the locale is now
English - India:

?locale=en_IN

Now select "Currency" from the Pattern list.

It now reports that the formatted currency value is rupees (Rs):

Rs 31,415,926,535.90

I see that this will eventually be changing to a brand new symbol
encoded as U+20B9 in Unicode 6.0:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee_sign
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/20b9/browsertest.htm

For one final test, select "Custom" from the Pattern list, then copy
and paste this text into the text box below that list:

¤ #,##,##0

Change "Value to format" to 42.

It now reports that the formatted value is:

Rs 42
