Is there a reason for not encoding these Tulu-Tigalari digits (0 to 9) and
numerals (10, 100) ?

Suggested code points in the Tulu-Tigalari block (U+11380-113FF, allocated
in Unicode 16.0).

(1)  Using the same layout as in the Kannada block (U+0C80-0CFF) or the
Telugu block (0C00-0C7F) for their decimal digits:

113E6...113EF: TULU-TIGALARI DIGIT ZERO...NINE

(I'm not sure if we can give them the "decimal digit" character property:
digit zero is apparently a later addition, when traditional numerals used
specific multipliers for tens and hundreds, however the existence of zero
is documented and visible in existing modern usage, and the two other
numerals may be used in legacy numerals for integers 1 to 999,999)

(2) Using additional numerals with the same layout as in the Telugu block
(0C00-0C7F) for its additional fraction digits:

113F8: TULU-TIGALARI NUMERAL TEN
113F9: TULU-TIGALARI NUMERAL ONE HUNDRED

Some images are listed in Wikimedia Commons (including an example in modern
usage for a wedding invitation in Tulu, printed in the Kannada and
Tulu-Tigalari script), and a few alphabet charts including these numerals:

One convincing point is that this appears in a *printed* document (intended
for some sizable audience in the Tulu community and families), and that
there may already existing fonts for them (even if they don't use Unicode
mappings), and not just a personal creation.
