necessarily be included in a digital encoding of the accented characters needed
for the languages of Europe.

It seems to me that an alternative scenario could quite

Twelve accented characters (uppercase versions and lowercase versions of six
accented letters) used for Esperanto are encoded in Unicode.
These may well be in Unicode as legacy encoded characters from one or more

For ISO 8859-3, the answer is in the wiki:
