* Macroregion - A code for a "macro geographical (continental) region, geographical sub-region, or * selected economic and other grouping" as defined in UN M.49. These are typically 3-digit codes, * but contain some 2-letter codes for LDML extensions, such as "QO" for Outlying Oceania. * Macroregions are represented in ICU by one of three region types: WORLD (code 001), * CONTINENTS (regions contained directly by WORLD), and SUBCONTINENTS (regions contained directly * by a continent ). *
* TERRITORY - A Region that is not a Macroregion. These are typically codes for countries, but also * include areas that are not separate countries, such as the code "AQ" for Antarctica or the code * "HK" for Hong Kong (SAR China). Overseas dependencies of countries may or may not have separate * codes. The codes are typically 2-letter codes aligned with ISO 3166, but BCP47 allows for the use * of 3-digit codes in the future. *
* UNKNOWN - The code ZZ is defined by Unicode LDML for use in indicating that region is unknown, * or that the value supplied as a region was invalid. *
* DEPRECATED - Region codes that have been defined in the past but are no longer in modern usage, * usually due to a country splitting into multiple territories or changing its name. *
* GROUPING - A widely understood grouping of territories that has a well defined membership such * that a region code has been assigned for it. Some of these are UN M.49 codes that don't fall into * the world/continent/sub-continent hierarchy, while others are just well-known groupings that have * their own region code. Region "EU" (European Union) is one such region code that is a grouping. * Groupings will never be returned by the uregion_getContainingRegion, since a different type of region * (WORLD, CONTINENT, or SUBCONTINENT) will always be the containing region instead. * * URegion objects are const/immutable, owned and maintained by ICU itself, so there are not functions * to open or close them. */ /** * URegionType is an enumeration defining the different types of regions.
