There may be others, but I only know about those two.



I think orthographies of some African languages also need Latin letters with diacritics for which
Unicode/ISO 10646 have never assigned and will never assign precomposed fomts.
And, if we consider Old and Middle European languages, there are even more.
Needless to say, IPA(although not a language) is a very 'fertile' source of a number of accented letters.
(I believe there are some IPA letters linguists want to use that are not given separate
codepoints.)


I didn't and wouldn't count math symbols here although there are a lot of them
with Latin letter as base char.
