In some languages if functions as a ligature (e.g. English), in others it functions as an ordinary letter (e.g. Danish).
Even W (U+0077) and sharp S (ß U+00DF) have origin as ligatures, but we probably usually do not see them as such these days.

OK, found it!
It hadn't occurred to me that Unicode would call it a "Letter" rather than a "Ligature" Sigh
Sorry to have bothered you.

Hi all,
Forgive me if my memory is failing me.
As I look thru our Repertoire, I do not see the ligature AE (æ Unicode 00E6). But neither do I find it in the list of excluded code points. Shouldn't it be in one
or the other?
Thanks
