This will be an easy fix, I'll take it. I had seen the change in passing
and stuck it as a to-do to examine it, but hadn't realized it wasn't
just an obscure edge-case that these number-forms were no longer
categorized the same as they had been historically. IIRC they used to be
"WEAK" chars but are now being categorized as "LATIN" like the
numbers/letters they resemble.

i18npool/source/breakiterator/breakiteratorImpl.cxx will be the right
place.
