Re: Mende Kikakui Number 10

Exactly, Unicode should not create its own logic about scripts or numeral
systems.

All looks like the encoding of 10 as a pair (ONE+combining TENS) was a
severe conceptual error that could have been avoided by NOT encoding "TENS"
as combining but as a regular number/digit TEN usable isolately, and
forming a contectual ligature with a previous digit from TWO to NINE.

The encoding of 10 as (ONE+TENS) is superfluously needing an artificial
leading ONE. This is purely an Unicode construction, foreign to the logic
of the numeral system.
