hex notation not so readable and anyway decimal is kind of standard way to represent numbers
Can you cite some examples of Unicode reference tables I can look up a decimal number in? They seem rare; perhaps in a list as a secondary column, but they're not organized/grouped decimally. Readability counts, and introducing a competing syntax will make it harder for others to read. There were links to such table in previos discussion. Googling "unicode table decimal" and first link will it be. I think most online tables include decimals as well, usually as tuples of 8-bit decimals. The fact that you need to specify "unicode table *decimal*" in your search, and that even then around half of the top results give the table in hex, to me illustrates quite well how much of a minority opinion "writing unicode characters in decimal is more logical" is
