Thank you, very intersting.
For Extension B the best is Mr Taichi Kawabata's ids_irg.txt which
includes all the cjkv characters presently in unicode at
<http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~irg/irg/irg25/IRGN1183A_ids_irg.txt.gz>
I usually just grep it, sometimes
$ grep AB ids_irg.txt
but more often the "fuzzy"
$ grep A ids_irg.txt | grep B
For, the very much smaller, and still to be fully passed Extension C,
there is my "very much a work in progress" ExtensionC_decomposed.txt,
which gives only the IRG numbers since the characters are not yet
official. I hope to update this very soon. For this please goto
http://east-chr-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/east-chr-data/ExtensionC/data/tables/ExtensionC_decomposed.txt?view=log and download the latest
version.
Accordiing to this at least 7 characters from your missing list are
apparently in Extension C ( File attached).
