As Patrick Chew has already pointed out, these characters are
ubiquitous in the Sinitic tradition of IPA notation, and are certainly
not obsolete.
I'm not sure about these tone letters, but I suspect that they are
also not obsolete:
> U+02F9 ( ˹ ) MODIFIER LETTER BEGIN HIGH TONE
> U+02FA ( ˺ ) MODIFIER LETTER END HIGH TONE
> U+02FB ( ˻ ) MODIFIER LETTER BEGIN LOW TONE
> U+02FC ( ˼ ) MODIFIER LETTER END LOW TONE
> U+A700 ( ꜀ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YIN PING
> U+A701 ( ꜁ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YANG PING
> U+A702 ( ꜂ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YIN SHANG
> U+A703 ( ꜃ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YANG SHANG
> U+A704 ( ꜄ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YIN QU
> U+A705 ( ꜅ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YANG QU
> U+A706 ( ꜆ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YIN RU
> U+A707 ( ꜇ ) MODIFIER LETTER CHINESE TONE YANG RU
> U+A720 ( ꜠ ) MODIFIER LETTER STRESS AND HIGH TONE
> U+A721 ( ꜡ ) MODIFIER LETTER STRESS AND LOW TONE
On the other hand these Zhuang tone characters (not listed) probably
should be considered to be obsolete:
U+0185 ( ƅ ) LATIN SMALL LETTER TONE SIX
U+01A8 ( ƨ ) LATIN SMALL LETTER TONE TWO
U+01BD ( ƽ ) LATIN SMALL LETTER TONE FIVE
