There are two Unicode blocks for Bopomofo:

The Chinese Noto Serif fonts support both blocks (whereas the Noto Sans fonts only support the first block):

I'd open a pr to add this to the Bopo row of https://github.com/silnrsi/langfontfinder/blob/main/data/script2font.csv, but I don't know whether SC or TC is preferred.

@LornaSIL @jvgaultney Do you have any thoughts on this request? or know someone who can comment? Thanks!

Based on a lot of ignorance, my google search shows Bopomofo is used primarily in Taiwan, and TC (Traditional Chinese) is used primarily in Taiwan. So, I would go for TC.

As far as Braille goes there is also the Catrinity font which has Braille and it is under the OFL.

Bopomofo is a script that can be used for multiple languages, and may have regional variants. If someone wants to use it they may want to use elements from both blocks. So I'd suggest that Noto Serif TC is the better, more complete option.

@imnasnainaec Thanks, we'd welcome a PR adding Noto Serif TC to the Bopo row.
