But these are actual digits, they are not number forms. And are you sure
you want them in the BMP? Another possible place for them would be with
other elements of the math set, such as right before the other digits in
the alphanumeric set in the SMP.
I definitely favour the name DUODECIMAL DIGIT TEN (and not TURNED DIGIT
TWO). Interestingly, Tengwar also has duodecimal digits. :-)
