They also have some other Latin characters that are not in Unicode given in at that site. [1] Most of them have decompositions into a basic Latin character with a combining mark, (which are listed on the referenced web page) but there are a few which do not. Besides the N WITH DESCENDER and O WITH MIDDLE BAR that Eric mentioned there are also G WITH TURNED COMMA ABOVE RIGHT and O with TURNED COMMA ABOVE RIGHT. They look like they might be nothing more than the base letter followed by U+02BB MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA kerned so that the turned comma intrudes into the space of the letter (but doesn't overlap) or it might show a need for a new combining character COMBINING TURNED COMMA ABOVE RIGHT that would be a companion to U+0315 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE RIGHT. There is the proposed CYRILLIC GHE WITH DESCENDER on that page as well, with no indication of its status of as a proposed character. In addition they have what they call CYRILLIC XA WITH HOOK, altho the hook looks more like a loop to me, and several other Cyrillic letters that might be of interest.
