[XeTeX] Missing char, missing footnote

Hello,

(1) I have a font into which I have inserted cuneiform characters (U+12000 range). In my TeXShop source, all my characters display fine. But when I compile, one of them comes out as a box (see the line in the table beginning with IG). Can anyone tell me what is happening?

(2) The footnote has vanished. I suppose that means footnotes aren't legal in tables of this type... Can someone suggest a solution to this?

Many thanks for whatever help anyone can offer! Source follows, font is attached.

Best wishes,

KF
