European digits follow Latin text,                                                Arabic-Indic digits follow Arabic text, and                                               Thai digits follow Thai text.                                               1 Digits are displayed according to the default locale.                                              2 Digit shapes are determined by the sNativeDigits entry. sGrouping         REG_SZ               3;0   How digits in a whole number are grouped.                                             The first number is the number of digits                                              immediately preceding the decimal point.                                             Each subsequent value determines the number                                             of digits between thousands separators.                                              If the last value is 0, the preceding value is repeated.sMonDecimalSep    REG_SZ                .    The symbol used to separate the decimal values in currency.sMonGrouping      REG_SZ               3;0   How digits are grouped to the left of the decimal in currency.                                             The first number is the number of digits                                              immediately preceding the decimal point.                                             Each subsequent value determines the number                                             of digits between thousands separators.                                              If the last value is 0, the preceding value is repeated.                                             Control Panel limits this value to 3;2;0 12,34,56,789                                                                                 3;0 123,456,789                                                                                 0;0 123456789                                              You can enter up to five groups in the registry (1;2;3;4;5).sMonThousandSep   REG_SZ                ,    The thousands separator in currency.sNativeDigits     REG_SZ         0123456789  The native equivalent of the ASCII 0–9.sNegativeSign     REG_SZ                -    The symbol used to display negative numbers.sPositiveSign     REG_SZ                     The symbol used to display positive numbers.
