Not all characters representing digits are decimal digits. A character can have (e.g.) a numeric value property, but not a digit value property; e.g. 09F4 BENGALI CURRENCY NUMERATOR ONE. A character can have a digit value property but not a decimal digit value property; e.g. 217D SMALL ROMAN NUMERAL ONE HUNDRED. What *cannot* happen is for a character to have different non-null values for the various number-related properties.
