It is the difference likely to be relevant for most Western people. Latin-9 has no glyphs for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, no isolated cedilla, acute and diaeresis accents (which is not that terrible since there is no well-defined composition method AFAIK), no "currency symbol" and explicitly "broken bar". What it has is Euro sign, S, Z, s and z with caron (czech accent, I think), the French semi-characters oe and OE and a capital Y with diaeresis. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
