<h3>Changes in CLDR 30 data</h3>
<ul>
<li>For some combinations of numbering system (arab, arabext, latn) and/or locale
(ar, fa, he), there were changes to the bidirectional control characters used
with certain symbols (percent, minus, plus), and changes to number patterns
(currency and/or percent, including addition of bidirectional control
characters in some cases).</li>
<li>The bidirectional controls used for such purposes now include U+061C ARABIC
LETTER MARK (ALM), which requires use of the bidirectional algorithm from
Unicode 6.3 or later.</li>
<li>The time separator for Norwegian locales (nb, nn) was changed to be ‘:’
throughout.</li>
