Heh, it's not often that I get a chance to just write code for fun anymore,
so it was a nice break :)
By the way, if anyone downloads the code, the algorithm I used is pretty
ugly as I was just making it up as I went along (and found more and more
"special" cases). I could probably do a better job of it now that I know
what some of the special cases are, but I never really got around to it...
Dean.

It has Jenny's Manhattan phone number, Ethiopic style.
I think I guilted Dean into writing that code, originally. Sorry about thay,
Dean. :-)

I wrote a little app which converts between Ethiopic and arabic-indic (aka
0-9) numbers just for the fun of it a while ago. You can check it out here:

Do Ethiopian telephones really use ethiopic numbers, though?

JFC (Jefsey) Morfin a écrit :
I need to support telephone numbers (0-9) in an multilingual application.
I would like to know if I miss some numbers, if in the Ethiopic case I can
assume that the first 10 values are 0-9
1369..137C ; Ethiopic # No [20] ETHIOPIC DIGIT ONE..ETHIOPIC NUMBER
TEN THOUSAND
10 = U+1372 = ?
20 = U+1373 = ?
2200 = ???
7,654,321 = ??????????
