What Are Latin Extended Characters?
Latin extended characters are letters derived from the basic Latin alphabet but modified with diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, tildes, etc.) or altered forms. They appear in European, African, Asian, and indigenous languages worldwide.
Unicode includes several Latin Extended blocks covering thousands of characters used in languages from French and Spanish to Vietnamese and Turkish.
