We discussed whether
\u4e00 \u4e8c \u4e09
should be a valid number made of [[:digit:]] in a japanese locale,
but it seems to be not a good idea.
If we did this, any program that deals with digits would not only need to know
the rules for the indian (frequently called arabic) numbers but also the rules
for other schemes.
