According to ftp://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/WG2/docs/n2463.doc the Cyrillic Selkup OE is mapped to Latin OE: CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SELKUP O E to U+0153 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER SELKUP O E to U+0152 LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE Several other of those missing Cyrillic characters are simply mapped to Latin ones or sort of decomposed. ----- Denis Moyogo Jacquerye
