L WITH MIDDLE TILDE is used orthographically in Kobon. R WITH TAIL is
used orthographically in several Sudanese languages. (see
http://www.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n2847.pdf, where the capital
equivalents are proposed)
BILABIAL CLICK, DENTAL CLICK, LATERAL CLICK, ALVEOLAR CLICK, RETROFLEX
CLICK, INVERTED GLOTTAL STOP, STRETCHED C, and TURNED T are used to
write African languages with click consonants (see
http://www.bisharat.net/Documents/poal30.htm). They should also be
used for writing names from those languages in English and other
languages (like !Xóõ, the name of a language famed for its large
number of consonants, and N!xau, the name of the star of the movie The
Gods Must Be Crazy). In practice, punctuation marks are often used
instead where a similar looking one is available.
KIP SIGN is being used to write Sencoten on one site
(http://www.languagegeek.com/salishan/sencoten.html), but K +
COMBINING SHORT STROKE OVERLAY on another
(http://www.firstvoices.ca/).
