The ISO-10646 charmap is missing some symbols. The missing EURO sign
is the reason I had a look, but I noticed several other neighbour
characters alsy missing.
The problem I ran into is what to put in the first column. Is the
'<Li>' text used anywhere? Is there a list of known codes I need to
use? What should I use instead of foo, bar and baz in the patch
below?

The reason I checked this out in the first place was
<URL:http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=185894>,
reporting problems generating 'en_GB.ISO-10646'. I plan to make sure
ISO-10646 contains all the characters in ISO-8859-15, and expect this
to fix the reported problem.
