Hello,

Thanks for this list. As a native Serbian speaker I confirm that your
list fully covers Serbian.

Your list covers Bulgarian too; to complete the coverage of South
Slavic languages you have to add two letters unique to Macedonian
language:

  \DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0403}{\CYRGJE}  % Ѓ
  \DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x0453}{\cyrgje}  % ѓ
  \DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x040C}{\CYRKJE}  % Ќ
  \DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x045C}{\cyrkje}  % ќ

(You already included \CYRDZE/\cyrdze (Ѕ/ѕ, x405/x455) which is unique
to Macedonian.)

As of other languages: the list already covers Rusyn language,
therefore, with Macedonian additions, AFAIK this is the complete
(modern) Slavic Cyrillic set (Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian,
Rusyn, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian alphabets).

Yet another note: \CYRYAT doesn't belong to XIX century only, it was in
use in Rusyn language in the first half of XX century, too.
