I just did. Even \d and \p{IsDigit} aren't always the same test.

Demonstration:

use warnings;
use strict;
use charnames ':full';

my $text = "\x{00030}"
. "\x{00660}\x{006F0}"
. "\x{02460}\x{02474}\x{02488}\x{024F5}"
. "\x{02673}\x{02680}"
. "\x{02776}\x{02780}\x{0278A}"
. "\x{1D7CE}\x{1D7D8}\x{1D7E2}\x{1D7EC}\x{1D7F6}"
. "\x{E0030}";

my $n = length($text);

print '-'x $n, "\n";

for (my $i=0; $i<$n; $i++) {
my $c = substr($text, $i, 1);
printf "\\x\{%5.5X} %s\n", ord($c), charnames::viacode ord $c;
print ' [0-9]' , "\n" if $c =~ /[0-9]/;
print ' \d' , "\n" if $c =~ /\d/;
print ' \p{IsNumber}', "\n" if $c =~ /\p{IsNumber}/;
print '-'x $n, "\n";
}
