Basically all of them are very little used; it turned out that Europeans
wanted to be European, not regional, which is why Turkish uses
8859-9 (Latin-5), a variant of Latin-1 with the Icelandic charactres
replaced by Turkish ones, rather than the Latin-3 they were originally
supposed to use. AFAIK nobody uses Latin-3 now except for Esperanto
and perhaps Maltese.
Probably the best accepted is Latin-7, and even that is not very well
accepted either.
