The only property values in Chapter 4 of The Unicode Standard that are not available in machine readable format are Table 4-7. Primary Numeric Ideographs and Table 4-8. Ideographs Used as Accounting Numbers, copied at the end of this document.
We propose that a data table for these values be added to the next appropriate version of the UCD. The contents could look something like the following, with the values P and A to distinguish Primary from Accounting. The proposed name is CJKNumericValues.txt, although the precise name is not important.
This simply matches the content of the Unicode Standard, so could conceivably be added in 3.2, if the UTC desired. Note: the actual ideographs in the comments below would not be present in the file, at least until such time as we decide to allow UTF-8 data in data file comments. They are provided here to help double-check the values.
96F6; P; 0 # 零 4E00; P; 1 # 一 4E8C; P; 2 # 二 4E09; P; 3 # 三 56DB; P; 4 # 四 4E94; P; 5 # 五 516D; P; 6 # 六 4E03; P; 7 # 七 516B; P; 8 # 八 4E5D; P; 9 # 九 5341; P; 10 # 十 767E; P; 100 # 百 5343; P; 1000 # 千 4E07; P; 10000 # 万 5104; P; 100000000 # 億 5146; P; 1000000000000 # 兆 58F9; A; 1 # 壹 58F1; A; 1 # 壱 5F0C; A; 1 # 弌 8CAE; A; 2 # 貮 8D30; A; 2 # 贰 5F10; A; 2 # 弐 5F0D; A; 2 # 弍 53C3; A; 3 # 參 53C2; A; 3 # 参 53C1; A; 3 # 叁 5F0E; A; 3 # 弎 8086; A; 4 # 肆 4F0D; A; 5 # 伍 9678; A; 6 # 陸 9646; A; 6 # 陆 67D2; A; 7 # 柒 634C; A; 8 # 捌 7396; A; 9 # 玖 62FE; A; 10 # 拾 4F70; A; 100 # 佰 964C; A; 100 # 陌 4EDF; A; 1000 # 仟 842C; A; 10000 # 萬
In addition, we should collect other ideographs that can have numeric values for addition to a future version, such as the following:
5169; N; 2 # 兩 liang3 5EFF; N; 20 # 廿 shorthand used in bookkeeping/newspapers 5345; N; 30 # 卅 shorthand used in bookkeeping/newspapers
The following tables are screen-shots from the Unicode Standard, Chapter 4.
