For that chart, the Unicode character names are:
A O I ??? (can't figure out what the top-
PA PO PI P right cell is supposed to be)
TA TO TI T
KA KO KI K
CA CO CI C
MA MO MI M
NA NO NI N
SA SO SI S
LA LO LI L
YA YO YI Y
FA FO FI F
RA RO RI R
QA QO QI Q
NGA NGO NGI NG
LHA LHO LHI LH
I also reckon you'll need NNGA, NNGO, NNGI, NNG, NUNAVUT H, GLOTTAL STOP,
CHI SIGN and all the dotted long vowel forms PAA, POO, PII, TAA, TOO, TII,
etc. That makes 115 characters or so.
