Hello Luke-Jr,
please keep the discussion on the list.

In any case, you have to know the base of every number
you are going to parse. This stems from the fact that
the same digits are used for all number systems. Note
that Unicode is a character-encoding standard, hence
cannot do anything about this sort of ambiguity.
Best wishes,
Otto Stolz
