IIUC, what we are trying to fix here is to align the weird *behavior* outside of 0-9999 in java.util.Formatter with java.time's, not how they are represented. j.u.Formatter already formats numbers in local digits, so I believe it is natural to use the localized negative prefix as well. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16033#discussion_r1385229360
