We consider elements x + y $ \sqrt {-m} $ in the imaginary quadratic number field ℚ( $ \sqrt {-m} $ ) such that the norm x 2 + my 2 = 1 and both x and y have a finite b –adic expansion for an arbitrary but fixed integer base b . For m = 2, 3, 7 and 11 a full description of this set is given. Ordered by the number of digits in the b –adic expansion of the coordinates, the corresponding sequence of points on the unit circle, if infinite, is uniformly distributed. This continues work of P. Schatte who treated the case m = 1. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
