Description
The value of the character when used as an accounting numeral to prevent fraud. A numeral such as 十 (ten) is easily transformed into 千 (thousand) by adding a single stroke, so monetary documents often use an accounting form of the numeral, such as 拾 (ten), instead of the more common—and simpler—form. Characters with this property will have a single, well-defined value, which a native reader can reasonably be expected to understand.
The three numeric-value fields should have no overlap; that is, characters with a
kAccountingNumeric
value should not have akOtherNumeric
orkPrimaryNumeric
value as well.

Description
One or more values of the character when used as a numeral. Characters with this property are rarely used for writing numbers, or have non-standard or multiple values depending on the region. For example, 㠪 is a rare character whose meaning, “five,” would not be recognized by most native readers. An English-language equivalent is “gross,” whose numeric value, “one hundred forty-four,” is not universally understood by native readers.
