According to ftp://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/WG2/docs/n2463.doc the
Cyrillic Selkup OE is mapped to Latin OE:
CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SELKUP O E to U+0153 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE
CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SELKUP O E to U+0152 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE
Several other of those missing Cyrillic characters are simply mapped
to Latin ones or sort of decomposed.
