Public Review Issue #26

The UTC is considering whether to change some numeric property values.

Decimal numbers are those used in decimal-radix number systems. In particular, the sequence of the ONE character followed by the TWO character is interpreted as having the value of twelve. We have gotten feedback that this is the not the case for Ethiopic or Tamil, and would like verification of this.

Ethiopic Digits U+1369 - U+1371, from:

General_Category = Nd (Decimal_Number)
Numeric_Type = decimal

to:

General_Category = No (Other_Number)
Numeric_Type = numeric

Tamil Digits U+0BE7 - U+0BEF, from:

General_Category = Nd (Decimal_Number)
Numeric_Type = decimal

to:

General_Category = No (Other_Number)
Numeric_Type = numeric
