The ones WITH MACRON, WITH RING ABOVE, WITH DOT ABOVE, and WITH CARON
are supported by Unicode using the combining marks in the 03xx range:
it was never intended that Unicode support every possible combination
of letter with combining mark that's in use somewhere for something.
In general, a mark is encoded as a combining mark if it does not merge
with the base character: cedilla, ogonek, and Vietnamese horn are
backward-compatibility exceptions.
These are the surviving ones. Anyone who's interested in getting them into
Unicode should contact Michael Everson about it (everson@evertype.com).
