Apparently this document is obsolete. Some of the proposed mappings to Latin have been encoded as plain Cyrillic letters such as: CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER KURDISH QA (not the initially proposed mapping to LATIN SMALL LETTER Q) This document was still a draft, and not a decision. The document specifically says "The issue with these letters is whether they should be deunified from Latin, and encoded in the Cyrillic block".
