For a string to be considered numeric, all its characters must have a Unicode
numeric property matching :py:meth:`str.is_numeric`. As a consequence,
the following cases are **not** recognized as numeric:

- **Decimal numbers** (e.g., "1.1"): due to period ``"."``
- **Negative numbers** (e.g., "-5"): due to minus sign ``"-"``
- **Scientific notation** (e.g., "1e3"): due to characters like ``"e"``

>>> s2.str.isnumeric()
