Comparison of some of the methods based on the result when the character is not an ASCII digit:

char c1 = (char)('0' - 1), c2 = (char)('9' + 1); 

Debug.Print($"{c1 & 15}, {c2 & 15}");                                   // 15, 10
Debug.Print($"{c1 ^ '0'}, {c2 ^ '0'}");                                 // 31, 10
Debug.Print($"{c1 - '0'}, {c2 - '0'}");                                 // -1, 10
Debug.Print($"{(uint)c1 - '0'}, {(uint)c2 - '0'}");                     // 4294967295, 10
Debug.Print($"{char.GetNumericValue(c1)}, {char.GetNumericValue(c2)}"); // -1, -1
