+/**
+ * \file
+ * \brief C API: UNumberingSystem, information about numbering systems
+ *
+ * Defines numbering systems. A numbering system describes the scheme by which
+ * numbers are to be presented to the end user. In its simplest form, a numbering
+ * system describes the set of digit characters that are to be used to display
+ * numbers, such as Western digits, Thai digits, Arabic-Indic digits, etc., in a
+ * positional numbering system with a specified radix (typically 10).
+ * More complicated numbering systems are algorithmic in nature, and require use
+ * of an RBNF formatter (rule based number formatter), in order to calculate
+ * the characters to be displayed for a given number. Examples of algorithmic
+ * numbering systems include Roman numerals, Chinese numerals, and Hebrew numerals.
+ * Formatting rules for many commonly used numbering systems are included in
+ * the ICU package, based on the numbering system rules defined in CLDR.
+ * Alternate numbering systems can be specified to a locale by using the
+ * numbers locale keyword.
