Supported characters in xsd pattern

I have the following in the xsd, the pattern says it should be "\d{10}", does this mean:

it supports only 10 characters(i.e digits, alphabets, special character)
it supports only 10 digits(i.e only 0 to 9)

Following is the xml:

  <xs:simpleType name="zip">
        <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
            <xs:pattern value="\d{10}"/>
        </xs:restriction>
    </xs:simpleType>

In the schema language and its regular expressions, \d stands for Unicode decimal digits, that includes the ASCII digits 0, 1, ..., 9, but also a lot of other digits of other scripts, see http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/category/Nd/list.htm. If you only want to allow ASCII digits then use [0-9]{10}.
