In Russian, yes...but not in languages that don't feature a
prepalatalized /e/. Bulgarian and Ukrainian, for example, have E merely
as [E].

Yep.
>backwards-N = /I/ ?
Depends on the language--in Russian (and, in fact, most Cyrillic
encodings) it's [i], but Ukrainian has it as [I].
>bI = /i/ ? /j/ ?
Russian: Somewhere between [I] and [1] (though most say it's purely [1],
I think this is merely for the sake of convenience--I've never heard it
as such).
Altaic: Often used for the high back unrounded vowel represented by an
undotted <i> in Turkish.
>backwards-crescent-E = /e/ ?
[E]
>superimposed _T_ and _h_ = ?
Palatalized /t/...but I think it can get to the point of [c].
>superimposed _T_ and curvey _h_ = ?
Same as above with /d/ and [J] (where [J] is a voiced palatal fricative)
>[g] with a 'rising accent' = /h/ ?
[gj] in Macedonian
>not-backwards-crescent-E = ?
[je] in Ukrainian
>S = ?
[dz]
>I = ?
[i] in Ukrainian
>I-dierisis = ?
[ji] in Ukrainian
>J = ?
[j] in Serbian
>connected [l] and _b_ = palatized /l/ ?
>connected _H_ and _b_ = palatized /n/ ?
Yep.
>K with accent = ?
[kj]
>[ts] with centered tail = /dZ/
Yep!
>[g] with short line falling up from the end of the horizontal = ?
[g] in Ukrainian, I think...
>/dZ/
>/h/
>/H/ (pharyngeal voiceless fricative)
>/j/
>/n"/ (uvular nasal)
>/w/
Hmmm...this could get difficult. Tell you what: if you mail me your whole
phonology, I'd be happy to try to put a good encoding together. I
actually really enjoy doing this, for some bizarre reason. :)
