I'd suggest
Number-format: d千d百d十d;

(If you actually wanted a literal "d" in there you'd use "¥d" without the quotes.)

This way, the CSS author could use their preferred characters. How they would specify their preferred zero character is another matter entirely.

And just a pedantic note that I'd hate to have a misnomer like "ideographic" burned into the standards.  Only some Han characters are ideographic (although I admit I don't know whether the number and separator symbols in particular are).

Hope this helps,
