The editor of the this linguistic lexicon has simply
(manually ?) reversed the capital C to make it look like an
antisigma, has put back to back a reversed capital C and a C
to form the « sigmas adossés » and turned upside down a
capital F for the « digamma inversum ». There are no special
glyphs used otherwise (and besides I don't have a scanner at
home).

Nick Nicholas has answered very satisfactorily as far as the
frequency of the antisigma and the probable ones of
Claudius' inventions.

If I understand properly, no current characters in the
Unicode 3.0 could legitimately be annoted as being any of
these three characters.
