With hexadecimal we typically use a-f for the remaining numbers. We probably would use something like this for base 12:
012345679ab
Of course everyone knows the correct base to use is 2. Or as we call it, base 10.
Actually, come to think of it, it would always be 10 in the base that it is.
Yes, 10 can be any number if you change the base. Non-integer bases are weird, but a few (like base φ) see some use.
