12// The ten Unicode subscript digits, in order, so that a digit's value is its position.
13//
14// They are contiguous in Unicode, but writing them out keeps the conversion from needing a fallible
15// `char::from_u32`, and shows at a glance which characters are meant.

18/// Writes a number as a run of Unicode subscript digits.
19///
20/// The digits are the Subscripts block's `₀` through `₉`, so that 10 is written `₁₀`. There
21/// is no sign and no leading zero: zero is written `₀`, and nothing else begins with it.
