In that set there's only one "letter" (1427; Canadian syllabics Final Middle
Stop) which has the wrong script, although it is a appropriate "Lo" that would
find a very unusual application for Catalan.
I forget the rest (including 2027, the hyphenation point, which shamely is a
punctuation, not a letter, and not explicitly "middle", meaning that it would
render inappropriately for Catalan, although it still represents the Catalan
function of this character).
