4. We are inconsistent regarding manufactured symbols
㉠ is Script=Hangul, Other_Symbol
㋐ is Script=Katakana, Other_Symbol
⒜ is Script=Common, Other_Symbol
㊏ is Script=Common, Other_Symbol
㈹ is Script=Common, Other_Symbol
ⓐ is Script=Common, Other_Symbol
U+32CD ( ㋍ ) SQUARE ERG is Script=Common, Other_Symbol
U+3300 ( ㌀ ) SQUARE APAATO is Script=Katakana, Other_Symbol
U+337F ( ㍿ ) SQUARE CORPORATION is Script=Common, Other_Symbol
µ is Script=Common, Lowercase_Letter
U+1D400 ( 𝐀 ) MATHEMATICAL BOLD CAPITAL A is Script Common, Uppercase_Letter
There is no principled reason why ㉠ or ㌀ should not have Script=Common, like the others. Either that or the others have the appropriate scripts.
About a 1000 letters have Common Script, typically where they are functionally symbols:

5. I was using the subblocks (from NamesList) to help organize, and found the following:
Singular plus Plural forms.
In many cases, we have a subblock that is a singular form of a plural name. I'd suggest we always use the plural form for noun or noun phrases, even if there is only a single character in the subblock. That is "XXX symbol" => "XXX symbols". Adjectival phrases ("Arabic") would be left alone.
This would affect the following (plus perhaps more: I only checked singular forms where there was a regular plural also).
Additional consonant => Additional consonants
Additional letter => Additional letters
Circle => Circles
Circled Hangul syllable => Circled Hangul syllables
Consonant => Consonants
Currency symbol => Currency symbols
Dependent vowel sign => Dependent vowel signs
Double diacritic => Double diacritics
Extended Arabic letter => Extended Arabic letters
Format character => Format characters
Gender symbol => Gender symbols
Keyboard symbol => Keyboard symbols
Latin letter => Latin letters
Letter => Letters
Letterlike symbol => Letterlike symbols
Medievalist addition => Medievalist additions
Miscellaneous addition => Miscellaneous additions
Miscellaneous arrow => Miscellaneous arrows
Miscellaneous mark => Miscellaneous marks
Miscellaneous mathematical operator => Miscellaneous mathematical operators
Miscellaneous mathematical symbol => Miscellaneous mathematical symbols
Miscellaneous symbol => Miscellaneous symbols
Modifier letter => Modifier letters
Operator => Operators
Relation => Relations
Rest => Rests
Sign => Signs
Space => Spaces
Special => Specials
Special character extension => Special character extensions
Squared Latin abbreviation => Squared Latin abbreviations
Subjoined consonant => Subjoined consonants
Syllable => Syllables
Symbol => Symbols
Tamil symbol => Tamil symbols
Variant letterform => Variant letterforms
Vertical line operator => Vertical line operators
Vowel => Vowels
There are a number of cases where the subblock equals the block.
Singletons: If it is a singleton (the only subblock in the block), add more of a gloss.

Non-Singletons: also change by narrowing the description, or changing to just "Miscellaneous", since it doesn't make sense to have block X contain subblock X and Y; that would imply both that Y's are X's and that Y's are not X's.
