I am guessing those are the characters used in the ancient japanese, starting with hee - fuu - mii, and so on

No, it's Chinese. The artist is Chinese, the hi fu mi reading uses the exact same characters as the regular ichi ni san, and while China uses this version for legal documents Japan uses a slightly simplified version of this.

Actually, the characters are taken from the touhou characters' names/associated stories. Beginning at 0 - Rei(mu) and ending at Cirno (known as ⑨). The kanji characters are the Japanese variant of the Chinese ancient numerical system and no doubt the author is not chinese. Source needs to be revised as it is linking to a chinese photo-sharing site.
