Section 4.6 of the Unicode standard also mentions ideographs with numeric values.

It would be neat to have unicode-string->integer and unicode-string->double conversion functions according to the rules of the locale.

Bruno Haible:

Yes, this would be useful. You can implement such a function
yourself, roughly like this:
1) Decide what kinds of decimal point character, decimal
grouping character, exponent marker, sign character,
and digit scripts you want to support in that conversion.
2) Verify that all digits in the input are from the same
script.
3) Convert the digits to their numerical value using the
uc_digit_value function.
4) Build up a 'char *' string with the corresponding ASCII
digits and sign, and without grouping characters.
5) Pass that string to strtol or strtod.

Such a function will not be in libunistring in the near term,
because the decisions in 1) are not clear to me yet, how to
do them right.
