You should know that "exhaustive lists" are kind of impossible with
virama-based scripts.

Look after MyaZedi (http://www.myazedi.com/downloads/).

Well, this is not how I see things. In fact, I fail to find fonts which have
glyphs outside those for the Burmese language, besides the codepoints
already listed in The Unicode Standard at U+105x...
Chris gave a very interessant link that have a lot of material, either
directly or linked. I found that a newer form seems to exist at
http://www.mcf.org.mm/unicode/.
Happy New Year to everybody,
Antoine
