How to know if a Unicode identifier is valid?

Here is a sample scenario - 

>>> এক = 1
>>> ১ = 1
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    ১ = 1
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

I'm running this from default python3 interpreter. Why do the first unicode string work as an identifier and not the second one?

Valid identifiers are explained in the Python 3 documentation: Lexical analysis - Identifiers and keywords.

The exact details can found in PEP 3131.
