I'm not Chinese-literate, but I know how to dig up info from the Unicode side of things. '\u4e5d' CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-4E5D Thanks, very helpful. Perhaps slightly more useful: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B9%9D But it still doesn't disambiguate digit vs word. Playing around with Google Translate suggests that it functions mostly like a digit; 九九 means "Ninety-nine" and 九八 means "Ninety-eight". But I'll leave further confirmation to someone who fits your second description. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
