LATIN LETTER YOGH is at U+021C/D -- near the end of the Latin Extended
B block, between LATIN LETTER T WITH COMMA BELOW and LATIN LETTER H
WITH CARON. See <URL:http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf> for
the official word on it. (If you just want to see images of the
glyphs, try <URL:http://charts.unicode.org/Glyphs/02/U021C.gif> and
<URL:http://charts.unicode.org/Glyphs/02/U021D.gif>).
I don't have Lucida Sans Unicode installed here, but neither Arial
Unicode MS or CyberBit have glyphs for yogh; and Herman's Thryomanes
font shows the same glyphs as for LATIN LETTER EZH.

I'm sure it's due to ME that Unicode renamed its old yogh glyph to ezh
in 1.1.5 or before, and introduced a separate code position for the
proper one in 3.0.0.
