This doesn't make any sense to me. I am fairly certain there will
be a request to add the U-label "日本" (Japanese Kanji for Japan).
This isn't alphabetic in any sense of the term.
To some degree it is, as the two characters are:
U+65E5 : Lo, Letter Other --> Alphabetic
U+672C : Lo, Letter Other --> Alphabetic
I.e. they have both the Unicode Properties of letters, and because of
that the derived property "Alphabetic".
This compared to the character "7":
U+0037 : Nd, Decimal_Number digit --> Not Alphabetic
Interestingly, I tried a couple of IDN test tools (IMC's and NASK's)
to convert that UTF-8 string into the appropriate A-label and both
indicated there are invalid characters. I'm getting an uneasy
feeling...
If you use a mac, let me recommend UnicodeChecker from http://earthlingsoft.net
