While I haven't read the accompanying comments, it's clear that at least
some of the characters shown on the Russian Wikipedia page, such as
LATIN X WITH ACUTE and the various Cyrillic letters with breve or
diaeresis, should be encoded as sequences with combining marks, not as
new precomposed characters. The pre-existence of U+00C1 and U+0401 does
not change this.
