compact currency formatting

[ziyadm]

this isn't an issue per-se; i was just curious whether you had any examples of how to do compact currency formatting. for instance, formatting 1234 US dollars as $1.2K.

a pointer to how to do something to that effect would be great @ovalhub. happy to chat offline/not in this issue as well

Docs are here: http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1NumberFormat.html For example: >> from icu import * >> f = CompactDecimalFormat.createCurrencyInstance(Locale.getUS()) >> f.format(1234) u'$1,234.00' Andi..

I see it, I just don't think I understand how to format the compact currency using that -- for instance, how do I format 1234 usd as $1.2k?

Maybe I'm not understanding what you are saying...

Aaah, so you really want $1.2k, not $1,234 ? I don't know how to do that but I'm sure it's possible. Please, ask on the icu users mailing list.
