U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE: a narrow form of a no-break space,
typically the width of a thin space or a mid space.
U+2009 THIN SPACE.
Many languages use small gap as thousands separator.
Thousands separator should not be a plain space, but a narrow space.
And additionally, it is not allowed to wrap line in the middle of the
number.
Locale data were created in a deep age of 8-bit encodings, so most of
them use space (incorrect: it allows wrapping the line in the middle
of the number), or NBSP (better, but typographically incorrect: space
between groups is too wide).
Now UNICODE is widely supported, so we should leave legacy characters
in favor of correct UNICODE character.
UNICODE has a dedicated character for this purpose:
NNBSP
U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE: a narrow form of a no-break space,
typically the width of a thin space or a mid space
The NNBSP exists since Unicode 3.0.
Use of NNBSP will prevent line wrapping in the midle of number and
improve readability of numbers.

These comments are useless and only confusing. The encodings used to
create binary locales from source locales are listed in the
localedata/SUPPORTED file. The source files itself are ASCII or UTF-8
encoded where non-ASCII UTF-8 is currently only used in comments. If
all locale source files are UTF-8 anyway, there is no need to specify
that in a special comment.
New locale is added for the Seychelles which is a member of the African
Union. English is an offical language for the Seychelles.
[BZ #21854]
* locales/en_SC: New file.
* localedata/SUPPORTED : Add en_SC/UTF-8.
For the locales doi_IN, kok_IN, and sat_IN, the words for
“yes” and “no” were apparently in yesexpr and noexpr.
Copy them from there to add yesstr and nostr.
Also make yesexpr and noexpr more readable by using
the POSIX portable character set.
* locales/doi_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Add yesstr and nostr.
* locales/kok_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Add yesstr and nostr.
* locales/sat_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Add yesstr and nostr.
This reverts commit 8f75515080
Revert “Fix yesexpr in en_DK locale”.
* locales/en_DK (LC_MESSAGES): Restore original yesexpr, noexpr,
yesstr, nostr. Convert them to ASCII and add a comment why
we want to have them like this.
And make the expressions more readable by using the POSIX portable character set
instead of Unicode code points.
* locales/agr_PE (LC_MESSAGES): drop .* from yesexpr and noexpr
* locales/az_IR (LC_MESSAGES): Improve yesexpr and noexpr.
* locales/az_IR (LC_ADDRESS): Fix typo in comment and
use the individual iso-639-3 code for South Azerbaijani
"azb" in lang_term.
* locales/az_IR (LC_NAME): Improve readability of name_fmt in source.
After the recent import of month names from CLDRv31 (bug 21217,
commit c853f14) an import of abbreviated month names is also needed
to make sure they match the full forms.
In case of kok_IN CLDR does not provide the abbreviated month names
explicitly but uses full month names in such cases so abmon section
has been copied from mon.

After the recent update of int_select the comment needed an update, too.
While at this, all comments in LC_TELEPHONE were moved above their
respective values because this looks better. Some minor typos fixed.
[BZ #21783]
* localedata/locales/lg_UG (LC_TELEPHONE): Move all comments
above the values, correct some of them.
