I do not contest that about number 11, and it was not the question ! The question was about number **10**: * ONE+TENS or ONE+TEENS ? This is NOT specified clearly in TUS Chapter 19 which speaks about numbers 1-9 then 11-19 for TEENS, and TENS for numbers 20-99.
The question is the same about 110,210,...,910: * (ONE..NINE)+HUNDREDS+ONE+TENS or (ONE..NINE)+HUNDREDS+ONE+TEENS ? For me it seems that both questions will repy with ONE+TENS, not ONE+TEENS. 2016-06-10 9:00 GMT+02:00 Andrew Cunningham <[email protected]>: > Hi Phillipe, > > ONE+TEENS (1E8C7,1E8D0) is definitely the number 11 > > A. > On 10 Jun 2016 4:53 pm, "Philippe Verdy" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Given that there's no digit for zero, you need to append combining >> characters to digits 1-9 in order to multiply them by a base >> 10/100/1,000/10,000/100,000/1,000,000.
