Set C and set D are derivatives of set A and set B. Please see the following technical report from Unicode consortium about the way they are generated. It talks about unions and subsets you wanted a link for.

I think you are confused glyphs, characters and code points. Please read this article if you haven't done it already:

If you look at basic set theory, either a set can be defined by listing out all its elements (e.g.: set A and set B above), or by defining the way it is generated. The technical report above explains how this definition is done, and the paper by Dr Gihan and Aruni - which you have kind of miss-quoted on www.akuru.org - defines them for Sinhala specifically.
