A slightly modified version.

You could now also use counter values.

\def\dododozhnumber#1%
{\ifcase#1
a\or
b\or
c\or
d\or
e\or
f\or
g\or
i\or
h\or
i\fi}

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

\def\endzhnumber{\endzhnumber}

\def\dozhnumber
{\futurelet\next\dodozhnumber}

\def\dodozhnumber
{\ifx\next\endzhnumber

\let\next\gobbleoneargument
\else
\def\next##1{\dododozhnumber{##1}\dozhnumber}%
\fi\next}

\starttext
\zhnumber{01234}

\zhnumber{\number\pageno}

\stoptext
