    public abstract String getSymbol(String currencyCode,
                                     Locale locale)

  Gets the symbol of the given currency code for the specified locale. For example, for "USD" (US Dollar), the symbol is "$" if the specified locale is the US, while for other locales it may be "US$". If no symbol can be determined, null should be returned.

    `locale` - the desired locale

  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - if `currencyCode` or `locale` is null
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `currencyCode` is not in the form of three upper-case letters, or `locale` isn't one of the locales returned from `getAvailableLocales()`.
