XSLT 1.0 spec says:

    7.7.1 Number to String Conversion Attributes
    ...

    - Any other format token indicates a numbering sequence that starts 
      with that token.  If an implementation does not support a numbering 
      sequence that starts with that token, it must use a format token of 1.

The last sentence is important.  ...it must use a format token of 1.

If Saxon will support... the following are Japanese Hiragana/Katakana sequences
-- modern(A...) and traditional(I...) -- and Kanji(CJK ideographs) numbers.

format="&#x3042;" (Hiragana A)

format="&#x4e00;" (Kanji 1) (decimal notation)
&#x4e00;(=1) &#x4e8c;(=2) &#x4e09;(=3) &#x56db;(=4) &#x4e94;(=5) 
&#x516d;(=6) &#x4e03;(=7) &#x516b;(=8) &#x4e5d;(=9) &#x3007;(=0)
e.g. &#x4e00;&#x3007;(=10)  &#x4e8c;&#x4e94;&#x516d;(=256)
There are more ideographic(kanji)-number formats, but the above will be sufficient.
