Remarks

This method converts characters that represent decimal digits to their equivalent integral values. Decimal digits are characters in the DecimalDigitNumber category that can represent one of ten digits in the decimal (base 10) numbering system, from zero through nine. It includes characters such as U+0030 (DIGIT ZERO) through U+0039 (DIGIT NINE), U+0660 (ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT ZERO) through U+0669 (ARABIC-INDIC DIGIT NINE), U+07C0 (NKO DIGIT ZERO) through U+07C9 (NKO DIGIT NINE), and U+1040 (MYANMAR DIGIT ZERO) through U+1049 (MYANMAR DIGIT NINE).
