Re: [alreq] Arabic decimal/thousand separator

I think ICU and CLDR are not reliable sources for character usage if 
they report such widely used characters not used in Arabic. The Arabic
 percent sign for example is the only percent sign used in Egypt, the 
same about all math operators reported not used, Arabic keyboard 
layouts even has × and ÷.

Arabic is used in many countries compared to Persian and there is no 
single official source, not to mention regional difference which can 
vary greatly. If we insist on only official sources, so we need much 
softer language than “used” and “not used” because the current tables 
are outright wrong in many cases.
