Description
The native name of the Carthaginian infantry javelinists (Səḫīr Kidōn) references the small Latin schwa (U+0259 in IPA Extensions of the Unicode standard) which is not yet included in our fonts. I don't know how we usually handle this, should we add in all letters up to and including the schwa (we have a gap between U+0241 and U+1E00)? Need we include all the IPA Extensions for completeness (about 100 new characters)?
The characters are defined in charset.txt, all the fonts would need to be rebuilt (see the fontbuilder2 utility for details).

Or we could use U+01DD LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED E instead. (There's character notes saying "Pan-Nigerian alphabet; all other usages of schwa are U+0259", but I guess that's close enough to be semantically correct, and it sounds more appropriate than an IPA phonetic symbol.)
