Of course, this will only work if you're converting digits (like a phone 
number) to and from base 10. If you stumble over a digit whose value is 
11, you'll end up with '0' + 11 = ';'.

Now, I don't know if there is any script in Unicode that uses base 12, 
20 or something else, but there's nothing stopping it.

As for numbers, not just a sequence of digits, you may want to be aware 
that some scripts may decide to put the least significant digit first, 
so you may have to reorder. But, again, I don't know if there is 
currently any such script in Unicode.
