There are numerous No characters that may be entered, say, by a user being asked for numeric input: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/No/list.htm However, Rakudo will fail to convert it into an Int, due to it not being a digit: <ZoffixWin> m: say '௰'.Int <camelia> rakudo-moar 40a953: OUTPUT«Cannot convert string to number: base-10 number must begin with valid digits or '.' in '⏏௰' (indicated by ⏏) in block <unit> at /tmp/VabvZF4PiK line 1Actually thrown at: in block <unit> at /tmp/VabvZF4PiK line 1» I think from the programmer's point of view, it should be expected that the conversion should succeed, where it makes sense. Since the same character can be used bare and work: <ZoffixWin> m: say ௰ <camelia> rakudo-moar 40a953: OUTPUT«10»
