Locales(�)

[Brian Cummins]

Hi, I was just wondering is there any locale that uses the � with a decimal point instead of a comma.

e.g.
�20.00 instead of �20,00

This is the code i am using at the moment

NumberFormat n = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.ITALY);  

Is there any locale i can use for Ireland. I've tried almost everything (IRELAND, EIRE, IRL, ROI, etc.) and I can't find it.

Great to see a fellow Paddy around here!
Try the following, unfortunately it's been my experience that you have to define your own Locale. I could be wrong but it's not really a problem!
Try the following

  
Locale l=new Locale("en", "IE");
Locale.setDefault(l);
NumberFormat n = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
System.out.println(n.format(20));

Hope this helps,
Barry
