Cleasby and Vigfusson's 1874 work "An Icelandic-English Dictionary"
contains some characters that I haven't been able to find through
Unicode 4.1.
For example,
http://penguin.pearson.swarthmore.edu/~scrist1/scanned_books/tiff/oi_cleasbyvigfusson/b0094.tiff
The line containing the right-pointing hand (last full paragraph on
the left column) contains a character that looks like a lower-case eth
without the slash.
On the previous page,
http://penguin.pearson.swarthmore.edu/~scrist1/scanned_books/tiff/oi_cleasbyvigfusson/b0093.tiff
bottom of the left column, there is a character referred to as an
"inverted C", whose glyph is an inverted, mirrored C with an
overbar. This appears to be the recently accepted U+2184 with a
combining macron.
On the same page, top of the right column, there are two runes that
are not found in the 16A0 block: the mirrored "D" variant on dagaz
(perhaps just a glyph variant of U+16DE?) and the right-pointing
triangle for "Latin d".
