Really? I'm sure most of these are in Unicode, and it should be possible to find a font for them (and subset it). That would require a reader that supports font embedding, but to me that's a lesser evil than using an image (even SVG). I'd be happy to help transcribing these fragments, it seems fun

One further question --- when I lay out the svg images, if I style for a width, such as 100%, they scale really small on a small screen, and appear very much smaller than the normal text.

Or, should I keep them sized to match the font-size, with the possibility of them becoming too large to fit the screen width?
If you must use images, I'd try to scale them to match the font size, and then set "max-width: 100%", to make sure they don't overflow.
