I'd like to second Mark.
There is a lot of information in the Standard, including the UAXs, and
the Unicode Character Database that would help answer your questions.
The volunteers associated with the Unicode effort have worked hard
putting all that information together - so use it, instead of taking up
their time in repeating it all in personal answers to you.

I'd suggest taking a more focused approach to learning about the
standard, rather than trying relatively scattershot questions to this
list. You might read through at least the first 3 chapters of the
Unicode Standard, plus the Scripts UAX. These are all online for free
at unicode.org <http://unicode.org>.

Am I correct?
Is there a mailing list for ISO/IEC ?

Better to do like Edward Cherlin, i.e., type the symbol after the
name.
e.g., LATIN SMALL LETTER PHI (ɸ)
That way an illiterate like me can quickly see the letter/symbol along
with its name, without additional research.

I can point you to http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0080.pdf , which
includes a glyph for U+00AA, and
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2700.pdf , which includes a
glyph for
U+271D. I don't think it's necessary to post these glyphs to the
public
list.

Most of the characters in the various parts of ISO 8859 were
originally
standardized before Unicode or ISO 10646, so the names were probably
either created by the ISO/IEC subcommittees responsible for those
parts,
or found in earlier standards and adopted as-is.
The merger between Unicode and ISO 10646 caused a few character
names in
Unicode to be changed to match the 10646 names.
