The full set of digrpaphs in Latin Extended-D is:

AA, AO, AU, AV, AV-barred, AY, OO and VY, all in upper and lower case.

Also of note are the insular forms of D, F, R, S and T (some only in
lower), Middle Welsh forms of LL, D and V, the R Rotunda (looks like a 2),
O-loop, Vend, Broken L and Visigothic Z (the precursor to C-cedilla), as
well as a huge set of Brachygraphic signs and abbreviations.
