Ku/ten form means that the code is given as two decimal numbers, each
between 1 and 94. Mapping to hexadecimal GB is simple, just add 0xA0;
that is, change 1 to 0xA1, 2 to 0xA2, ..., 94 to 0xFE.
For example, 1601 (16/01) becomes 0xB0A1 (0xB0 = 16 + 0xA0).
Ku/ten is a Japanese term. In Chinese it is called qu/wei
(qu1 'section', wei4 'position').
