HI!

@blackspot! I think so too, I think it is Han letters, 漢字　　Kan Ji .

'Kan' means China or Sino in Japanese and 'Ji' means letter, character or word.

It can also mean a section of a village, and then it is pronounced 'aza'

"*Jojo* send the money via ofiaich_pal and I can do that for you !!

but you can also do the simple way for yourself !

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

零一　二　三　四　五　六　七　八　九　十

or use these for the longer way - thousand 千　　hundred 百　

so your second example is 987 九八七　　九百八十七　

It is useful to know both ways, because you can ask for your room key in both ways !

Ofiaich

It is very useful for both japanese and chinese learners -- numeric system is the same AFAIK

ofiaich already mentioned the basic digits, just combine the following as needed:

10 = 十
100 = 百
1000 = 千
10,000 = 万
100,000,000 = 億

how to use it is simple: just add the basic digit to these characters as an appropriate multiplier, example:
237 = 2 x 100 + 3 x 10 + 7 = 二百三十七
25,748 = 2 x 10,000 + 5 x 1000 + 7 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 8 = 二万五千七百四十八

for numbers greater than 10,000 you will use an appropriate number from 1 to 9,999 as a multiplier for the 10,000, it's like the comma is every 4 digits not like in english where the comma is in every 3 digits, example:

125,000 = 12 x 10,000 （where 12 = 10 + 2) + 5 x 1000 = 十二万五千
3,600,000 = 360 x 10,000 (where 360 = 3 x 100 + 6 x 10) = 三百六十万

it's a little confusing at first but you'll get used to it if you keep practicing
