The URL

http.//www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/standards.html

also includes a link to

http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2047.pdf

which contains the character tables and glyphs for all
characters except chinese characters for the draft of
the second edition of ISO/IEC 10646-1.

I think these may be regarded as final, as AFII, that produced the
tables, is out of businees by now.

Kind regards
Keld Simonsen
