Arabic numerals are being used a lot nowadays in Asian countries, but that doesn't mean that the native script versions are not being used anymore.

I never claimed that people are not using their local scripts to enter numbers. However, none of your examples is about Chinese numerals using an ASCII full stop as a decimal point. The only thing I claimed about usage (actually only repeating haiyang kang's earlier claim) is that nobody would enter Chinese numerals with a keyboard and then use full stop as the decimal separator.

So all your counter-examples just don't apply - I don't deny them.

Regards, Martin
