About Maldives (MV)

The Maldives is a tropical island nation in the Indian Ocean, the world's lowest-lying country with an average ground level of just 1.5 meters above sea level. Malรฉ, the capital, is one of the most densely populated cities on Earth. The Maldives is a luxury tourism destination with over 100 resort islands. The Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) is the currency, though USD is widely accepted in tourism. For developers, the MV country code maps to the dv-MV locale for Dhivehi, which uses the Thaana script โ€” an RTL script that is unique to the Maldives. The .mv domain and +960 calling code serve the Maldives. Thaana script (Unicode U+0780โ€“U+07BF) is written right-to-left and requires specific RTL rendering support. The Maldives' vulnerability to rising sea levels makes it prominent in climate-related datasets. The tourism-dominated economy means applications for hospitality and travel are particularly important. Dhivehi's Thaana script is one of the world's rarest writing systems in terms of number of users.
