I think I have it figured out with the help of some googling and a book that I have:
Glyph | Notes |
---|---|
U+EFB0 |
Palemonas (page 33): U+E0C7 DAUGISKAITOS SU UMLIAUTU ŽENKLAS Approx. translation: PLURAL WITH UMLAUT SIGN New Athena Unicode (page 11): U+EC3C or U+2012 U+0308 contracted biceps = two dots over macron |
U+EFB1 |
Palemonas (page 36): U+E0CC KIRČIUOTAS ILGASIS SKIEMUO Approx. translation: STRESSED METRICAL LONG |
U+EFB2 |
Potentially same as: U+23D3 METRICAL SHORT OVER LONG |
U+EFB3 |
Palemonas (page 33): U+E0C8 BRŪKŠNYS SU TAŠKU Approx. translation: MINUS DOT Listed next to U+2238 DOT MINUS, and looks like its mirrored sibling. |
U+EFB4 |
Palemonas (page 36): E0C9 KIRČIUOTA MORA Approx. translation: STRESSED METRICAL BREVE |
U+EFB5 |
Identical to U+21E7 UPWARDS WHITE ARROW |
I think I'm going to remove the characters above.
As for U+F004 and U+F005, these are actually used as components of Latvian letters with cedillas. The glyphs likely should stay, but I'm not so sure regarding their code assignments – I suspect they might be just an artifact of some limitations back in the day. I've already renamed these glyphs to sign.cedilla.commabelow
and sign.cedilla.commaturnedabove
and should probably turn them into alt forms of U+00B8 CEDILLA and free up the PUA codepoints.
There are also interesting glyphs assigned to positions U+EFB0-U+EFB5 and U+F004-U+F005. I'll probably have to ask Fotonija people about what they mean and what they were used for.
