Also, does that mean that you need new glyphs for these characters?

That's a problem. Even the free STIX fonts don't have all those glyphs at once. The general font has U+2147/48/49, but only the italic font has U+212F, so you can't take plain text, and get it to display properly just by changing the font.
I think we might have to use just regular letters, unless more common symbols are found.

Don't add the glyphs to the fonts yet, let's see if there are better alternatives first. Ideally, you'd take newRPL code, open it in your favorite editor and work like nothing happened, using very rare characters will make this just as bad as the custom code page in the hp48 did.
