Description

Working on the subsetting of Playpen Sans pers script fonts, I've noticed some of the codepoints are not included in any of our Glyphsets.

After cross-referencing the Glyphsets with the gflanguages definitions, I've seen most cases correspond to auxiliary glyphs.

However, I'll collect the auxiliary plus other extra ones I'm identifying here so we can review them later on.

| 0133 | ij | nl_Latn | Auxiliar glyph for this language |

| 013F | Ldot | ca_Latn | Auxiliar glyph for this language |
| 0138 | kgreenlandic | kl_Latn | Auxiliar glyph for this language |
