I'm not Chinese-literate, but I know how to dig up info from the
Unicode side of things.

'\u4e5d' CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-4E5D

Thanks, very helpful.

Perhaps slightly more useful:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%B9%9D

But it still doesn't disambiguate digit vs word.

Playing around with Google Translate suggests that it functions mostly
like a digit; =E4=B9=9D=E4=B9=9D means "Ninety-nine" and =E4=B9=9D=E5=85=AB=
 means "Ninety-eight". But
I'll leave further confirmation to someone who fits your second
description.
