Adobe have placed these in the Corporate Use Subarea of Private Use Area,
in the range U+F8D7 to U+F8E4 (matches Apple's MacOS assignments)

This is the way I have updated my version of UNIDATA2.TXT :

F8D7;MEDIUM LEFT PARENTHESIS ORNAMENT;Ps;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8D8;MEDIUM RIGHT PARENTHESIS ORNAMENT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8D9;MEDIUM FLATTENED LEFT PARENTHESIS ORNAMENT;Ps;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8DA;MEDIUM FLATTENED RIGHT PARENTHESIS ORNAMENT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8DB;MEDIUM LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET ORNAMENT;Ps;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8DC;MEDIUM RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET ORNAMENT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8DD;HEAVY LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT;Ps;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8DE;HEAVY RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK ORNAMENT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;

F8E0;HEAVY RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET ORNAMENT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8E1;LIGHT LEFT TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET ORNAMENT;Ps;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8E2;LIGHT RIGHT TORTOISE SHELL BRACKET ORNAMENT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8E3;MEDIUM LEFT CURLY BRACKET ORNAMENT;Ps;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
F8E4;MEDIUM RIGHT CURLY BRACKET ORNAMENT;Pe;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;

Does anybody maintain a registry of the area Adobe calls "Corporate Use
Subarea" of Unicode?
I noticed that some of the ranges overlap for example Klingon.
