Is there a locale definition that I could use for CFNumberFormatterCreate so
that I can take a number and pass it into
CFNumberFormatterCreateStringWithNumber and get back Roman numerals
(U+2160-U+2182)?

Quoting Deborah Goldsmith <email@hidden>:

Yes, CFNumberFormatter and NSNumberFormatter will handle non-ASCII
digits, and are recommended.

But aren't most of those non-ASCII digits still Arabic numbers? Don't most people -- even in other languages -- enter numbers in text fields as ASCII digits? Just wondering.

No, some locales use non-ASCII digits, particularly Arabic and Indic languages.

So what's the most modern, recommended, Unicode-savvy way to convert a text string into a numeric value? CFNumberFormatter?
