Not SO hard; something like this could do the job (NOT TESTED):
\def\num#1#2{\setbox0=\hbox{#2}
\special{ps: 1 setgray}
\zcharnote{#1}{\vrule height \ht0 width \wd0 depth \dp0}
\special{ps: 0 setgray}
\zcharnote{#1}{\box0}}
\num02 puts number '2' at the bottom line
Please tell me if it works (it should) ...
