There were once a number of ligatures in wide use, but æ|Æ and œ|Œ are the only ones still in significant current use, particularly in modern French and classical Latin.
As well as those, 1/8, 3/8, 5/8, and 7/8 (as single characters, arranged vertically), were also in the typesetter's set of fonts.
The important thing to remember about such ligatures is that they are single SBCS values having just one eight-bit code point/rank.
