   I have not been successful in finding anyone here in Iceland who
   has a copy of the Unicode standard, but I hope somebody with access
   to the standard can answed the following questions:

	   Is the character "Icelandic Eth" (D with a horizontal stroke)
	   included, and if so, does the lower case letter have a straight
	   or curved stem ?

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ETH is found at U+00D0.
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D BAR is found at U+0110.
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AFRICAN D is found at U+0189.

All of the above is a D with a horizontal stroke.  They don't look
very different to me.

LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH is found at U+00F0.
LATIN SMALL LETTER D BAR is found at U+0111.

The former has a curved stem, the latter a straight stem.

	   Is the character "Icelandic Thorn" included ?

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER THORN is found at U+00DE.
LATIN SMALL LETTER THORN is found at U+00FE.

	   Are the special characters used by Esperanto included ?

There are a few notes about source languages, and LATIN SMALL LETTER U
BREVE (U+016D) has "Esperanto" in such a note.  I don't know
Esperanto, so I can't comment on this in general.  If you can provide
a list of the "special characters used by Esperanto", I'll look for
them in the draft (Unicode 1.0 Draft Standard Final Review Document) I
kindly received from Asmus Freitag at Microsoft <asmusf@microsoft.com>.

Note: U+00xx is identical to ISO 8859-1, and also includes the ISO
6429 control codes.
