Shaun> I don't understand at all. Using the characters in [JA], Shaun> without any zeroes, I get 1002 = 千二 and 1200 = 千二百. Shaun> No ambiguity. 1200 is speaking as 一千二 in oral language of Chinese, which will be confusing if we speak 1002 as 一千二 also. So, 1002 is written as 一千〇二, and 1020 is written as 一千〇二十.
Shaun> For instance, 1000 is 千, but one Shaun> could also write it as 一千. 1000 is always written as 一千, while nobody writes it as a single 千。 Shaun> Furthermore, [ZH] also provides characters for 20, 30, Shaun> and 40, rather than just prefixing 10 with the correct Shaun> digit marker. This is wrong. 廿 is only used in Chinese Lunar Calendar and some old articles. Nowadays, nobody uses 廿 to represent 20, and there are a lot of people who don't know how to pronounce 廿 correctly. So, 20 should be written as 二十. The same applies to 三十 means 30. Shaun> Please, Shaun> everybody send me details of the numbering systems you Shaun> need, and then double-check my results with the script. Do you need an complete result list of Chinese numbering system?
