[smc-discuss] Malayalam locale - update LC_MONETARY

[Santhosh Thottingal]

Hi,
The locale definition for Malayalam has LC_MONETARY  with
currency_symbol  value as    "<U0D30><U0D42>"
See /usr/share/i18n/locales/ml_IN
 "<U0D30><U0D42>" means "രൂ"
My question is, shouldn't we update the locale with the monetary sign
with <U20B9> (the rupee symbol ₹ ) ?

If anybody interested in a python program using this:

>>>import locale
>>>locale.setlocale( locale.LC_MONETARY, 'ml_IN' )
'ml_IN'
>>>print locale.currency(100)
രൂ 100
