How to use this Chinese numbers converter?

Although the Chinese do use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3 etc), in some settings they also have their own systems of numerals based on Chinese characters that are used in different settings. For example, formal Chinese numbers are used in banks and on cheques in China.
