You can perfectly map this small set of symbols in Plane 14.
And no, they are NOT confusable and not a duplicate set of Basic Latin
: their representative glyphs will be clearly different. They will be
REAL symbols, even if they embed a letter in their default
representative glyph (this letter will disappear when the ligatures
will be generated by renderers supporting a mapping from flag codes to
actual glyphs, either with fonts build specifically for some
recognized ligatured, or with the help of an external protocol to get
a flag from an external flags registry (which we don't need to specify
in Unicode).
