Currently, the Coptic characters are treated as extensions to the Greek script, much as the Urdu characters are treated as extensions to the Arabic script. So for now, at least, they should be marked as Greek. If the UTC and SC2 ever disunify the scripts, then the Script property value would need to change.
As to the technical symbols, would anyone take a stab at listing those characters that are only ever used as technical symbols, and never as letters?
