Can't enter negative value in numeric Grid Column using SV locale

Step by step instructions on how to reproduce the problem

Try entering a negative value in the filter column using the StackBlitz example here https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-dx7cna?file=app/main.jsx

This works using "ES" as locale (your example) https://stackblitz.com/run/?file=app/main.jsx

Hello, Robin,

Thank you for the details.

After a discussion in the team, we agree to open an improvement for this case and similar cases, where we will handle the standard minus symbol as valid:

This unicode problem is a bit confusing. It's correct that the Swedish culture should use the "long minus version" (U+2212) for displaying a negative value. The problem is that the key is not included in the Swedish keyboard layout so it's not possible to enter a negative value using the U+2212 unicode (we use the same unicode for minus as the EN layout).

Is it possible to override the minus unicode for the unicode check?

Hello, Robin,

Thank you for the details.

We tested this locally and found that the symbol for `minus` in the SV culture is different and we have a check if the user has typed culture-based minus. This check is needed to set the value to -0 if the minus symbol is typed:

https://unicode-org.github.io/cldr-staging/charts/38/by_type/numbers.symbols.html#2f08b5ebf85e1e8b

Please ensure that when testing, you are typing the SV culture symbol for minus, because if an EN-based keyboard is used this is a different symbol.
