Is it normal the str.isnumeric() returns False for these Cuneiforms?

They are all in the Nl category.
Are you sure about that? Do you have a reference?
It seems to me that they are not:
py> c = '\U00012456'
py> import unicodedata
py> unicodedata.numeric(c)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module>
ValueError: not a numeric character
Although it is possible that unicodedata is buggy, or perhaps just
doesn't support the multilingual plane characters.
Neither. It appears that these 'letter-like numeric characters' do not
have specific numeric values, at least not in UCD 6.1.0

When there is a value, it comes just before the last 'N'.
The last regular character is
