[ERROR] Locale Monetary Symbol Prints Wrongly on Windows : Cygwin

[Yeo Kai Wei]

Hi All,

May I ask if there's a bug with Cygwin and Windows currency?

This is the output from the code below.

Region: en_AU.utf-8 Currency symbol: $ International currency symbol: AUD
Region: en_CA.utf-8 Currency symbol: $ International currency symbol: CAD
Region: en_GB.utf-8 Currency symbol: £ International currency symbol: GBP
Region: en_US.utf-8 Currency symbol: $ International currency symbol: USD
Region: en_NZ.utf-8 Currency symbol: $ International currency symbol: NZD
Region: en_ZM.utf-8 Currency symbol: $ International currency symbol: 
NZD <---- ERROR

The correct answer should be "Region: en_ZM.utf-8 Currency symbol: K 
International currency symbol: ZMK"

Supposedly, the code works on Linux.

Is this an issue with Windows?

How can one solve this issue?


Thank you very much.


Kind Regards,
