    VoiceOver Bug Report

Description

VoiceOver in Cantonese is unable to speak the pattern /百分之[0-9]+/, i.e. Chinese percentage, e.g. "百分之10", "百分之20", "百分之1000", etc.
Procedures to reproduce


Change Language to 繁體中文 (Traditional Chiense)
Visit http://www.hko.gov.hk/textonly/v2/forecast/ndayc.htm in Safari
Turn on VoiceOver with Default Dialect set to 中文 (廣東話) (Chinese (Cantonese))
Use Rotor to change reading style to line by line
Swipe down and VoiceOver reads every line except lines like "相 對 濕 度 ： 百 分 之 80 至 95 。", which contains the pattern /百分之[0-9]+/
