-. New characters in the MUFI Character Recommendation v. 4.0
This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.
Odd Einar Haugen, 16 December 2015
This list is based on the meeting held in Bergen, 8–9 September 2015, and additional mails.
It contains 36 new characters. Of these, only 1 character is in Andron Scriptor Web, but 22 are in Andron Mega Corpus. See the columns for ASW and AMC in the table below, as well as the column for the LINCUA tables (LINCUA overview). A total of 13 characters need to be composed (of existing characters) or drawn from scratch.
Of the 36 new characters, 4 are already in the Unicode Standard. They have been listed with codepoints in black & bold below. Another 4 are already in the Private Use Area (PUA) of TITUS. They have been listed with codepoints in black & regular below. Furthermore, 18 characters were allocated codepoints by Jost Gippert in 2011, and have been listed in blue below.
Finally, 10 characters have no code points in TITUS, and have been listed in red below. In agreement with Jost Gippert, code points have been allocated by Odd Einar Haugen. When allocating these codepoints, the latest version of the TITUS font has been checked, as well as the LINCUA resource set up by Andreas Stötzner
Also, see the overview of new codepoints on these pages:

One character should be decommissioned from the MUFI PUA and moved to a new codepoint in Latin Extended-E, i.e. LATIN LETTER SMALL X WITH LONG LEFT LEG: From F232 to AB57
