OK TeXperts,  Here's an "easy" question:

I have two Chinese characters "1" and "2" which need to
be printed on the same line (i.e. no line break between
them) and without any space between them (like "12").  
For some reason simply writing "12" wouldn't work because 
TeX still treats "1" and "2" as separate words and breaks 
the line between them.  I try "1~2", and then a space is 
added so that it looks like "1 2", which is not what I 
want.  Is there any way to keep "1" and "2" on the same 
line and without any space between them?

I will summarize if there are enough interests (potentially
it's of interest to those of us who are using TeX/LaTeX to 
print Chinese) and if I receive an answer.

Thanks a lot.
