Greetings,

Recently while working on some code that does lexical analysis on Japanese
text I came across the following sequence in some of my test data (culled
from various sources on the WWW):

U+4E5D U+3007 U+5E74

CJK Ideograph Nine, Ideographic Number Zero, On reading 'nen', "year"

I was interested to see that U+3007 is not considered a Decimal Digit, but
simply as a Numeric (while the ideographic numbers, such as U+4E5D, are
not).

Thanks in advance,

        -tre
