I looked into new characters for dozenal a few years ago, and there
certainly are new glyphs that have been used for 10 and 11. My library
was insufficient, and my interest wasn't enough to chase down sources
via ILL or the like, but I think I could have made a solid claim that
there existed characters distinct from any currently encoded
characters for 10 and 11, provided that you accepted that these wildly
disparate glyphs could be unified. Without that, it was a mess of
usages combined to one press and one time period.
