One of these that may cause problems in some systems (including the ones we use; hopefully our customers' systems deal with it more appropriately) is the character used in the middle of [1], the Extended Roman "alif" character" which was changed to "ʼ" in 2005 [2], though I only saw that code in bibliographic and authority records starting around April of 2013, about the same time as NAR n 79046204 was updated (I don't believe those were related events, though). Some systems aren't able to translate the ʼ to the appropriate ' (apostrophe) character, making searching for things with that character more challenging.
