> 1. kw (the w is a superscript)
> 2. hw (w is superscript)

Those two are not a single character in the UCS; the ʷ is:

  U+02B7 MODIFIER LETTER SMALL W

and it looks like all of the DejaVu faces support that character.

> 3. ss (2 s's placed close together)
> 4. kk (2 k's placed close together)

You can simulate those two with kerning.  It’ll take a little more code,
but will be usable with essentially any font.

> 5. čč (2 č's close together)

Again, use kerning.  The individual chars are:

  U+010D LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CARON
  U+010C LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CARON

Looking at the font you attached, you may not require any kerning
after all; just set ss as ss, kk as kk and čč as čč.
