www.unicode.org/charts is a page of links to PDF files containing all
of Unicode.  Note that the numbers associated with the glyphs are
hex, so you need to either convert to decimal or else use the
form ŵ (w with circumflex for Welsh).  Netscape 4.x
will only reliably understand these forms if you set the
encoding to UTF-8 with a <META http-equiv="Content-type"
value="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> element within the HEAD element.

Note that Latin is split up into a bunch of separate blocks:
Basic Latin is ASCII; Latin-1 Supplement is just that; Latin-Extended A
provides all the characters in Latin-2 through Latin-5; Latin-Extended B
provides miscellaneous Latin characters; IPA Extensions is again
just that; Spacing Modifier Letters are miscellaneous small letteroids;
Combining Diacritical Marks lets you design your own diacriticized
letters (with proper font support); Latin Extended Additional is
lotsh of other letters with 1 or 2 diacritics already on them.

The Thryomanes font at
ftp://ftp.io.com/pub/usr/hmiller/fonts/Thryomanes11.zip
has all these characters, plus Greek and Cyrillic too.
