    Your F725 Unknown-2, to me, looks like a German SCRIPT CAPITAL S,
    (compare with U+2112;SCRIPT CAPITAL L). Yes, we were taught to write an
    S like this in school. Perhaps it's used somewhere in mathematics?

    Your F7AA Unknown-8 could then be a SCRIPT CAPITAL C.

    Your F747, spacing left hook below - doesn't it look very much like the
    palatalization hooks used elsewhere in the list (which you mapped to
    U+0321)?

    Your combinations "with latin small letter dotless i" (e.g. F704, F731,
    F77A) seem to be designed for use in phonetic transcriptions, and hence
    are probably intended as IPA U+026A;LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL I

    F737: the description in your list doesn't match the glyph shown, which
    is "with triangular colon".

    F70F "Latin small letter a with colon" shows a triangular colon glyph
    and should hence be mapped to U+02D0, not U+003A.

    F70E "Latin small letter a with tilde with modifier letter triangular
    colon" shows a U+0251 "Latin small letter alpha" glyph.

    F750 "Latin small letter i with palatalized hook below" shows an
    inverted breve glyph, not a hook.

    F751 "Latin small letter i with tilde with tilde" shows a macron and a
    tilde

    F754 and F755 "Latin small letter J with..." show i, not j glyphs.

    F79B "Latin small letter S with retroflex hook below" shows not a
    retroflex hook, but something more like an ogonek. A retroflex hook
    should be attached to the left side of the S, not in the middle below,
    and has its own precomposed IPA codepoint U+0282.

    F7AC "Latin small letter u with dot below with diaeresis" shows an
    acute, not a diaeresis.
