The double-barred l/L are also used in Papua New Guinea. They (along with some other Latin and Cyrillic orthographic stuff) were on my list of things to propose next.

The capital of 019A may also be used in Papua New Guinea (unconfirmed), and it is in orthographic use in Dogrib and Slavey. It has also been used as an Americanist phonetic symbol for voiceless lateral fricative (so why wasn't it in my phonetic symbols proposal?)
I'd be interested in getting more info on these other characters.

Already approved by UTC.

The double-barred l/L are supported in the Doulos SIL font as PUA characters.

Please keep me informed of any progress, or let me know if I can help :-)
