Myanmar formatting implementation notes
For Myanmar, format numbers with the explicit locale my-MM; the reference value 1234567.89 renders as 1,234,567.89.
Myanmar's reference format uses "." as the decimal mark and comma (",") for grouping. The integer uses repeating groups of three digits. Pass "my-MM" directly to Intl.NumberFormat instead of replacing punctuation in a preformatted string.
MMK is shown with K immediately before the amount; the same reference value renders as K1,234,567.89. The percent sign appears immediately after the amount. Use the ISO currency code for storage and interchange because a visible symbol can be shared by unrelated currencies.
Myanmar digits are the page's reference digit system, and the negative pattern is -n. Treat my-MM as the reference locale for this page, but still respect the user's explicitly selected language and numbering-system preferences. Validate output with formatToParts() when spacing, signs, or bidirectional literals affect the interface.
- Locale: my-MM
- Decimal and grouping: 1,234,567.89
- Currency: MMK β K1,234,567.89
- Digits: Myanmar digits

What's different here
- The reference digit system is Myanmar digits (en-US: Western 0β9 digits).
- Uses the same number pattern (decimal mark, grouping, symbol and percent placement) as Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea in Asia, plus 24 pages in other regions.
- Nearby differences: India (en-IN) uses Indian 3-then-2 grouping instead of repeating groups of three; Pakistan (ur-PK) uses Indian 3-then-2 grouping instead of repeating groups of three; Bangladesh (bn-BD) uses Indian 3-then-2 grouping instead of repeating groups of three.
- Currency: MMK has ISO minor unit 2. The symbol K is also used by PGK in this directory.
- If an interface needs Western 0β9 digits instead of Myanmar digits, request them explicitly (for example numberingSystem: "latn") rather than converting output strings.
- Postal address order: name β building β street number + street β district β city β region β postcode β country. See address formats.
