The isnumeric() method returns True if all characters in a string are numeric characters. If not, it returns False.
A numeric character has following properties:
- Numeric_Type=Decimal
- Numeric_Type=Digit
- Numeric_Type=Numeric
In Python, decimal characters (like: 0, 1, 2..), digits (like: subscript, superscript), and characters having Unicode numeric value property (like: fraction, roman numerals, currency numerators) are all considered numeric characters.
You can write the digit and numeric characters using unicode in the program. For example:
# s = '½' s = '\u00BD'
