[Alain] :
Under Windows 3.11 (which I still use on one of my 3 machines), the OE
ligatures are also present at least and also the uppercase Y DIAERESIS.
We have problem transmitting those characters to mainframes (and to DOS,
and to pure Latin-1-conformant machines, etc.) as they stay in limbo
(whence Latin 0 btw, which would not necessarily require a change under
Windows, but it would help translation tables from Windows to EBCDIC-CECP
code pages and the rest of the world in assuring standard transmission).
Just FYI. That said, I don't know what was registered though. I trust
Brendan and others.
