The latter pair may already be encoded as U+0184/U+0185 LATIN
CAPITAL/SMALL LETTER TONE 6, which was once intended to use the glyph of
the Cyrillic soft sign.

The Ukrainian IE used in Latin script is certainly eligible, by the
principle of separation of scripts. The only challenge I can see would
be a claim that it was already encoded as U+0190/U+025B LATIN
CAPITAL/SMALL LETTER OPEN E.
