One useful table that AFAIK isn’t in the Unicode consortium’s tables is “characters that exist primarily or only for round trip compatibility”.

An example would be the “Roman numerals” set that are discussed elsewhere in this HN discussion. Others include “ghost characters” and obsolete keitai emojis from the 90s that only appear in obsolete character tables. Mostly these should be normalised to modern / canonical versions.
