The Unicode Standard says "There is no left ring in Armenian. Unicode character U+0559 is not used. It appears that this character is a duplicate character, which was encoded to represent U+20BB MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA, used in Armenian transliteration. U+02BB is preferred for this purpose."d

`, '\u{055A}': `

The Unicode Standard recommends using ’ [U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK] rather than this character.d

Used only in western Armenian, to indicate elision of a vowel, usually ə.ws

`, '\u{055B}': `

Placed above and slightly to the right of the vowel who's sound is being modified (usually the last vowel of the interjection word), rather than at the end of the sentence,d eg. Իտալիան եղել է և՛ Անտանտի, և՛ Կենտրոնական ուժերի կազմում:

Printing difficulties have often led to this character appearing as a spacing, or half-spacing character alongside the vowel.d

`, '\u{055C}': `

Placed above and slightly to the right of the vowel who's sound is being modified, rather than at the end of the sentence.d

Printing difficulties have often led to this character appearing as a spacing, or half-spacing character alongside the vowel.d

`, '\u{055D}': `

Ամեն ոք ունի սեփականություն ունենալու իրավունք՝ ինչպես մենակ, այնպես էլ ուրիշների հետ միասին։

`, '\u{055E}': `

Placed above and slightly to the right of the last vowel of the question word (usually the stressed vowel), rather than at the end of the sentence,d eg. Հնարավո՞ր է արդյոք համատեղել ընտանիքն ու քաղաքականությունը…

Printing difficulties have often led to this character appearing as a spacing, or half-spacing character alongside the vowel.d

`, '\u{055F}': `

One of 4 abbreviation marks found in manuscripts to abbreviate words such as God, Jesus, Christos, etc. It is placed above the abbreviated word and spans all of its letters.d eg. Աժ ạʒ God

Wikipedia regards this as obsolete.ws

Hrant Papazian writes: "... nobody uses the patiw, because nobody puts a -usable- patiw in a font, because pre-OpenType it was impossible to render such a floating mark. Not to mention that the patiw is a very archaic character that always looks old-fashioned."
