Thanks for the report, this is an unintentional bug.

'8' matches the adjacent comma because (character-fold-to-regexp "8")
contains "8[,.]"

The culprit is #x1f109 “DIGIT EIGHT COMMA” with decomposition: (compat
'8' ',') and #x248f “DIGIT EIGHT FULL STOP” with decomposition: (compat
'8' '.')

We don't need to match the decomposition “8,” when searching for “8”.
We only need to match the char #x1f109 when searching for “8”.

Maybe Artur has an idea how to fix this regexp?
