    I've found these characters in a book called "The Annals of the
    Cakchiquels", by Daniel G. Brinton. They have a little history, as noted
    by the tag in the picture. The tz is for a tz sound, and is probably
    just a glyph variant of that character. The 4 is called a cuatrillo, the
    reversed three is called the tresillo, and the 4 with a comma is
    cuatrillo con coma. Are these still in use anywhere? Are they
    appropriate suspects for Unicode?

Einstein once said that it would be hard to teach in a co-ed college since
guys were only looking on girls and not listening to the teacher. He was
objected that they would be listening to _him_ very attentively, forgetting
about any girls. But such guys won't be worth teaching, replied the great
man.
