As I come across new characters I just add to the list with the expected replacement string. I tried to keep track of what the character looked like in the comment beside it. The replacement strings are for text files which I am converting to LaTeX files (which is typically where I run across this problem), so you might want to change some of the replacements to better suit your application. Some of the codepoints in your list are no longer correct: they correspond to the internal representation of characters used by Emacs before v23.1. Caveat emptor!
