The top of that article contains a warning that "It is necessary to verify the
accuracy of the facts and the accuracy of the information contained in this
article" and cites no sources for the mappings it contains, so I wouldn't take
it as gospel. Even without such warnings, Wikipedia is a notoriously unreliable
source which should be always taken with a grain of salt.[1]

Thanks for this link. The Ukrainian standard mentioned on the list[2] doesn't
seem to define these code points at all. Though I did find another copy[3]
which has those characters in a table, but not in a later listing of characters
and their assignments. I'm not sure how authoritative either is.

I could understand not changing it anyway for the sake of compatibility, but at
least please don't rely on such sloppy research when justifying doing so.
