[Alain] :
Nope...

They just recently added the EURO (in the last year), and they also added
last summer the uppercase and lowercase Z CARON of Finnish.

The two S CARON of Finnish were already there, like the two LIGATED OE and
the uppercase Y DIAERESIS of French, but all were in the C1 (control
character) space, if one considers the ISO/IEC standard structure for 8-bit
character sets.

Latin 9 comes to make all this standard for interchange.
