Table of characters

In this table those characters with the Unicode script property of Latin are highlighted in colour, indicating the version of Unicode they were introduced in. Reserved code points (which may be assigned as characters at a future date) have a grey background. All characters that do not belong to the Latin script have a white background (and the version of Unicode they were introduced in is therefore not indicated).
