This. Dozenal/ Duodecimal system is clearly superior to decimal.

For example, division in dozenal is a very simple affair due to its high number of factors in comparison to 10.

i.e
12's factors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
10's factors are 1, 2, 5, 10
This means if you want to divide by 4, 3, 6 etc it is simpler than having a recurring number like decimal, for example 10/3=3.333... 12/3=4.
Nice whole numbers will make it easier for children to learn maths and for people to do simple everyday transactions and arithmetic.
There are a number of other reasons to introduce dozenal at least into Unicode.
