Thanks to everyone who suggested changes!
Putting all the suggestions together, i have the tentative reworking up
at:
http://bingweb.binghamton.edu/~bh11744/rokbcyrn.jpg
So there are two suggestions for /&/ and /&w/... is "backwards
crescent-shaped E" actually used for the /&/ sound in any
Cyrillic-written language?  The Unicode chart doesn't list any languages
at all for the AE ligature.
And about the change for /dZ/, according to the Unicode Chart:
CYRILLIC LETTER DZHE is used not just in Serbian, but also in Macedonian
and Abkhasian.
CYRILLIC LETTER JE is used in Serbian (maybe for /j/, since they already
have DZHE?), Azerbaijani, and Altay.
(the language list is by the lowercase versions)
So if DZHE is used in Serbian for /dZ/, and JE is then /j/, that leaves 3
vs. 2-possible in favor of DZHE.  So should i leave it as DZHE instead of
changing it?
And no one still has any good replacements for /T/ and /D/?
