Didnʼt I send this yesterday?

$ LANG=zh_HK src/emacs -Q -l ss.el
(require 'org)
(org-time-stamp)
<2019-03-01 五>

I think '五' is 'Five', but donʼt quote me on that.

So at least for me itʼs working correctly (in both *scratch* and an
Org-mode buffer), which means thereʼs something wrong in the
reporter's configuration somewhere.
