LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ETH is found at U+00D0. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D BAR is found at U+0110. LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AFRICAN D is found at U+0189. All of the above is a D with a horizontal stroke. They don't look very different to me. LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH is found at U+00F0. LATIN SMALL LETTER D BAR is found at U+0111. The former has a curved stem, the latter a straight stem. Is the character "Icelandic Thorn" included ? LATIN CAPITAL LETTER THORN is found at U+00DE. LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN is found at U+00FE. Are the special characters used by Esperanto included ? There are a few notes about source languages, and LATIN SMALL LETTER U BREVE (U+016D) has "Esperanto" in such a note. I don't know Esperanto, so I can't comment on this in general. If you can provide a list of the "special characters used by Esperanto", I'll look for them in the draft (Unicode 1.0 Draft Standard Final Review Document) I kindly received from Asmus Freitag at Microsoft . Note: U+00xx is identical to ISO 8859-1, and also includes the ISO 6429 control codes. -- [Erik Naggum] Naggum Software, Oslo, Norway
