As far as I know the extended Bopomofo characters are used in Taiwan to
transcribe certain local "dialects".
I wondered if anyone knows what the names given to these characters in the
Unicode 3.0 standard represent.

Are they pinyin transcription of the local names ?
What does OO (U+31A6) represent as opposed to Bopomofo U (U+3128) ?
What are NGG (U+31AD), INNN (U+31B3) ?

Any help greatly appreciated,

Patrick Andries
