            Bug ID: 18896
           Summary: Improvements for currency in he_IL
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ricciba at gmx dot ch
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

For the currency "New Israeli Shekel" (NIS), the currency locale in localedata
is שח, which is not entirely correct. For all suggestions see reference below.

Either the actual unicode point <U20AA> ₪ NEW SHEQEL SIGN or the acronym ש״ח
(<U05E9><U05F4><U05D7>) should be used. Note that NEW SHEQEL SIGN does not
exist in charmaps/UTF-8, but I'm not sure if that means it has to be added or
that it can't be used.

In addition to that, the currency symbol appears to the left of the number, but
since Hebrew is right-to-left, it does not precede the number.

Concerning spacing the Wikipedia article states: "It [i.e. the symbol] is
either not separated from the preceding number, or is separated only by a thin
space."

Proposed changes:
1. currency_symbol   "<U20AA>" (or <U05E9><U05F4><U05D7>)
2. p_cs_precedes     0 
3. p_sep_by_space    0
4. n_cs_precedes     0
5. n_sep_by_space    0

The NEW SHEQEL SIGN exists in charmaps/UTF-8 (using glibc 2.23).
