We often think of * "regions" as "countries" when defining the characteristics of a locale. Region codes There are different * types of region codes that are important to distinguish. * <p> * Macroregion - A code for a "macro geographical (continental) region, geographical sub-region, or * selected economic and other grouping" as defined in * UN M.49 (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm). * These are typically 3-digit codes, but contain some 2-letter codes, such as the LDML code QO * added for Outlying Oceania. Not all UNM.49 codes are defined in LDML, but most of them are. * Macroregions are represented in ICU by one of three region types: WORLD ( region code 001 ), * CONTINENTS ( regions contained directly by WORLD ), and SUBCONTINENTS ( things contained directly * by a continent ). * <p> * TERRITORY - A Region that is not a Macroregion. These are typically codes for countries, but also * include areas that are not separate countries, such as the code "AQ" for Antarctica or the code * "HK" for Hong Kong (SAR China). Overseas dependencies of countries may or may not have separate * codes. The codes are typically 2-letter codes aligned with the ISO 3166 standard, but BCP47 allows * for the use of 3-digit codes in the future. * <p> * UNKNOWN - The code ZZ is defined by Unicode LDML for use to indicate that the Region is unknown, * or that the value supplied as a region was invalid. * <p> * DEPRECATED - Region codes that have been defined in the past but are no longer in modern usage, * usually due to a country splitting into multiple territories or changing its name. * <p> * GROUPING - A widely understood grouping of territories that has a well defined membership such * that a region code has been assigned for it. Some of these are UNM.49 codes that do't fall into * the world/continent/sub-continent hierarchy, while others are just well known groupings that have * their own region code. Region "EU" (European Union) is one such region code that is a grouping. * Groupings will never be returned by the getContainingRegion() API, since a different type of region * ( WORLD, CONTINENT, or SUBCONTINENT ) will always be the containing region instead. * * The Region class is not intended for public subclassing. * * @author John Emmons * @stable ICU 51 */ class U_I18N_API Region : public UObject { … }; U_NAMESPACE_END #endif /* #if !UCONFIG_NO_FORMATTING */ #endif /* U_SHOW_CPLUSPLUS_API */ #endif // REGION_H //eof
