U+1D504..U+1D537, with certain additionsl from the Letterlike Symbols range
(as noted in the names list for U+1D504..U+1D537). See
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf.


> And in what font might I find such a glyph? I find nothing in Gentium,
> Palatino Linotype, Cardo, Times New Roman, Titus Cyberbit Basic, Lucida
> Unicode, or even Arial Unicode.

Code2001 has some of these. Other fonts are in development.
