Another solution using \afterassignment.

The number is now removed from the input but you have to use
a if test, number tests did not work.

\def\zhnumber#1%
  {\expandafter\dozhnumber#1\endzhnumber}

\def\endzhnumber{\endzhnumber}

\def\dozhnumber
  {\afterassignment\dodozhnumber\let\next= }

\def\dodozhnumber
  {\ifx\next\endzhnumber\let\next\relax
   \else
     \if\next 0a\else
       \if\next 1b\else
         \if\next 2c\else
           \if\next 3d\else
             \if\next 4e\else
               \if\next 5f\else
                 \if\next 6g\else
                   \if\next 7h\else
                     \if\next 8i\else
                       \if\next 9j\relax
     \fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi
     \let\next\dozhnumber
   \fi\next}

\starttext

\zhnumber{01234}

\zhnumber{\number\pageno}

\stoptext
