Apparently nobody has made any effort to make a cross-mapping between 
these symbols and Unicode characters.  Looking at those symbols, this 
isn't surprising.

Anyone contemplating submitting an encoding proposal for this set in 
spite of the kindly advice offered in this thread would need to inspect 
each of the symbols to determine if any of them can be unified with 
existing Unicode characters.

The symbol shown at 0100 is unifiable with U+267F.

Now you're off to a good start.

(The recently updated Mozilla Thunderbird substituted an emoji for the 
U+267F character which was pasted into this message.  So I deleted it.)
