I think it's safe to assume that all alphabetic, certainly all Latin,
characters that *could* have both a capital and a small form *need* to
have both, because of the possible use in titles. Your research into
Komi Cyrillic and Lakota long-N proved that.
The obvious exception would be IPA characters -- but even then, as soon
as an IPA letter migrates to an accepted orthography in, say, Africa, it
needs an uppercase form.
