------------

as the result give the Thai characters,
please see the captured screeshot at

http://bacteria.thethai.net/bugs/j2se14b/thaidigits/ThaiDigitsValue.html

1st pic is Java 1.4 beta

2nd pic is Java 1.2.2 thai


-------------

this seems that Double and Float don't support Thai digits,
but it works for Byte, Integer, Long, BigDecimal, BigInteger.


Java 2 v.1.2.2 Thai Localization can handles all of number objects.
