Ok looking at issue again I guess the other alternative is to have a discontiguous set of numbers. Represent 10 as U+1E8C7 U+1E8D1 and map it within the font to the PU glyph.
And hope that font developers don't create a glyph based on shape of U+1E8C7 and U+1E8D1, but PU instead.

When the model for Mende Kikakui numbers was changed before the finalising of the code block, the number ten was removed. But using existing digits and numbers we can produce 1-9 and 11 -> but we can not produce the number 10 from digits and numbers. > The number ten uses the same glyph as syllable PU U+1E88E. > Should I use U+1E88E to represent both the number 10 and the syllable PU? > Andrew > > -- > Andrew Cunningham > [email protected] > > > -- Andrew Cunningham [email protected]
