How can i format turkish lira with symbol?

Question

I tried to do it with the locale, but it only appears as text and the symbol doesn't come out. I am using JAVA 14 SDK.

Code I tried:

  Locale tr = new Locale("tr", "TR");
  BigDecimal points = new BigDecimal(175678.64);
  System.out.println(NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(tr).format(points));

Output:

175.678,64 TL

I want:

₺175.678,64

No problem

I broke out your code to multiple lines for easier debugging.

When I run it in the IdeOne.com site, I get your desired output.

By the way, you should pass your input number as text (add quote marks). Otherwise you are defeating the purpose of using BigDecimal.

/* package whatever; // don't place package name! */

import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

import java.math.* ;
import java.text.* ;

/* Name of the class has to be "Main" only if the class is public. */
class Ideone
{
    public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
    {
        // your code goes here

Locale locale = new Locale("tr", "TR");
  BigDecimal points = new BigDecimal( "175678.64" ) ;


NumberFormat f = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance( locale ) ;
String output = f.format( points ) ;

System.out.println( output ) ;


    }
}

When run:

₺175.678,64
