The one I've stumbled across recently are the "Negative Squared Latin Capital Letter" (1F170 - 1F189 ). There are lots of characters in Unicode I'd love to know the history of, but searching for such things is hard, at best. But a reenactment cannot avoid addressing every possibility, and it's going to get most of them wrong. Pronunciation reconstruction is on much firmer ground - and it gets there by not addressing most questions. So I say reenactment of a dead language is an interesting project, but you're inevitably going to make choices that are wildly different from the language as it existed in the past.

I say that this categorization question draws upon rules of pronunciation which we don't presently have a good idea of how to describe or characterize at all. But it is a fact about the language, and in principle the question can be answered solely by looking at the pronunciation of sounds within the language - in the ordinary course of events, a Chinese speaker would go their entire life without being exposed to the sound, and yet they would largely agree with each other on what the sound was if they did hear it. To the best of my knowledge, we have no way to answer the question "how would language X categorize sound Y?" other than experimentation, which is impossible with a dead language. The choice is not arbitrary it is quite consistent across speakers of each language. But something about the phonology of each pushes the sound into one category or the other. The sounds and are both phonemic in both Mandarin and Cantonese. It is perceived by Cantonese speakers as being (as in "fickle"). For example, English (the sound at the beginning of "thick") is perceived by Mandarin speakers as being the sound (as in "sick"). I've been interested for a long time in the question of how we can determine how a language divides up the space of possible sounds. It's not even possible for living languages, although in that case we can draw empiric conclusions. This is already well beyond what's possible for a dead language. It's technically possible for a reader to technically understand what the program is doing
