NOTE:
It probably isn't a good idea to merge or release this without widespread adoption of Unicode 17, I just made the PR to have it ready.

It looks like the current ar.yml file is using KWD (Kuwaiti Dinar) as the currency, it might be more apt to have it be ar-KW.yml? That might break things for a lot of folks though. I made a new file to avoid breaking anything.

Also I wasn't sure if the convention is to put the currency ISO symbol (e.g. SAR), or the actual new symbol.
