| This is wrong. French has â, ç, œ, ï, etc. Italian has à, è, ì, etc.
| Spanish has á, é, ñ, etc. as well as (according to the old
| lexicalgraphical order) "ll" and "ch" which are considered ONE letter.
ll and ch are also considered one letter in Welsh, which also has a
circumflexed 'w' - which until Unicode was a very difficult character to get
a computer to do.
There are also the omissions to consider. Welsh has no j (except in borrowed
words like jam and sosej [1], x or z.
