1200 is speaking as äåä in oral language of Chinese, which will
be confusing if we speak 1002 as äåä also. So, 1002 is written as
äåãä, and 1020 is written as äåãäå.

1000 is always written as äå, while nobody writes it as a single åã

This is wrong. å is only used in Chinese Lunar Calendar and some old
articles. Nowadays, nobody uses å to represent 20, and there are a lot
of people who don't know how to pronounce å correctly. So, 20 should be
written as äå. The same applies to äå means 30.

Do you need an complete result list of Chinese numbering system?
