I’m not sure how to get Chinese numeric characters on the keyboard ? Can you direct me pls. I am using a samsung phone.

type the pinyin (phoenetic alphabets) for the word. Ex. type “er” for 二/two after you add Chinese typing and pinyin input method. I like 9 key keyboard on the phone. quicker to type
