More character suggestions.

I also think that common typographic elements like em and en dashes, ellipsis. Maybe some nice bullets. Bill do you know if stuff like thin spaces, and non-breaking spaces and hypens is coded into an individual font?

And one of my favorite characters, that you may not be familiar with would be a fun addition - the interrobang, which is used to mark an exclamatory question.

The Wikipedia (Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License) says this about the interrobang

The interrobang is not a standard punctuation mark. Few modern typefaces or fonts include a glyph for the interrobang character. It is at Unicode code point U+203D ‽ interrobang (HTML: ‽).

The interrobang can be used in some word processors with the alt code ALT+8253 when working in a font that supports the interrobang, or using an operating system that performs font substitution.
Depending on the browser and which fonts the user has installed, some of these may or may not be displayed or may be substituted with a different font.

Image	Default font	Fixed	Palatino Linotype	Calibri	Arial Unicode MS	Code2000	Helvetica	Unicode*
	‽	‽	‽	‽	‽	‽	‽	‽
*The Unicode column uses one of a selection of wide coverage Unicode fonts depending on what is installed on your system

Those small p-like glyphs you are seeing in the boxes above actually are text that you can copy and paste into Xara or Word. Select the character and then scroll though your font choices to see what fonts you already have that support the interrobang. It is fun to see how the different font have styled this character.

In fact, I think that looking at how others have interpreted a character using this method could provide insight and inspiration when figuring out how to create the missing roundhand characters.
