There are several symbols set to U in UTR#50 because of unifications, examples are:
U+00A7 SECTION SIGN
U+00A9 COPYRIGHT SIGN
U+00BC VULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER
U+00F7 DIVISION SIGN
U+2103 DEGREE CELSIUS
U+2116 NUMERO SIGN
U+221E INFINITY
U+2303 UP ARROWHEAD
U+2460 CIRCLED DIGIT ONE
…

Maybe quite rare for Mongolian to use them, not sure, but isn’t it safe to put one property for all non-CJK cases so that these characters don’t surprise authors?
