Hello Ellaine,
In all your searches and in your proposals, di you try to segregate the proposed additional characters into two separate categories: those needed for inclusion within many modern studies, and those only used in very old scripts with many unknown or ambiguous properties?
I ask you that because not all the Hebrew Extended chracters may need an allocation in the BMP (in row U+08xx as suggested), and some may be placed in the SMP, in a separate Hebrew-Aramaic-Mandaic Extended block (including notably some punctuations signs or old numerals, or other diacritics needed for Phoenician and other extinct branches or variants).
Philippe.
