Actually, I don't understand why UnicodeData.txt has no less than
/three/ different fields for numerical value anyway. I mean, it's not as
though there exists EVEN A SINGLE CODEPOINT for which two or more of
these fields exist and are defined differently from each other. One
never sees, for example, a character for which "digit value" is 3 and
"numeric value" is 4. It seems to me that one single numeric field would
suffice.
You may need a second field to establish what "kind" of number this is
(decimal digit, whatever), but then maybe you could figure that out from
the general category anyway.
