According to Wikipedia (so usual caveats apply, but the article looks
pretty thorough), postal codes are almost exclusively numeric around the
world, with just a few countries using A-Z (mainly the UK and former
British colonies).

There are no official international standards that specify this, but it
appears to be a de-facto standard that post codes are exclusively ASCII.
