[fojwzpbc] Japanese numbers

Japanese numerals, Unicode code points in decimal, and some alternate forms.  They are scattered through the CJK block, in contrast to the digits 0-9, which are clustered in order.

The alternate forms that are commonly used are 0 (not an accounting character), 1, 2, 3, 10.  However, it also seems possible to alter the following characters by adding or erasing strokes: (5,9) (5,10) (5,1000) (5,10000) (6,8) (6,10000^4) (7,10) (7,10000^3) (8,10000^3) (9,10000)

Even larger numbers are no longer single kanji.
