I think it is a little ugly to have code like this: num = float("一.一"), expected result is: num = 1.1

That's a straw man, though. The string need not be a literal in the program; it can be input to the program. num = float(input_from_the_external_world) Does that change your assessment of whether non-ASCII digits are used? -- \ “The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the | `\ hijacking of morality by religion.” —Arthur C.
