I think the OP (haiyang kang) already indicated that he finds it quite unlikely that anybody would possibly want to enter that. You would need a number of key strokes to enter each individual ideograph, plus you have to press the keys for keyboard layout switching to enter the Latin decimal separator (which you normally wouldn't use along with the Han numerals).
