    When I first read this question I mistook ISO 15924 for the name of the
    "Latn" script, but Google enlightened me.

    Since Latn is a script, not a charset, you cannot expect an authoritative
    list of what is in it, but there is a list of which unicode chars are Latin,
    where Latin is Latn or Latf (Fraktur variant) or Latg (Gaelic variant).
