This might work if paired with Character.getNumericValue(char ch), but 
the docs for getNumericValue did specifically mention digits for other 
languages that isDigit supports, so caveat emptor and be sure to test it 
carefully first.

But I was being pedagogical here: it's very important (imo) to 
understand how the definition of the ASCII and Unicode standards can 
improve program effiency drastically.  Folks here who claim to be 
experienced programmers seem to miss this idea.
