not me accidentally clocking that 312 / 202 shows up twice — once as CA for Ę and once as CB for Ë — and that 313 / 203 is straight-up missing from the list. that's how it is in the source bestie, I'm just the messenger 🙈 keep it as-is.

💅 NOTES 💅

ISO/IEC 8859-10 is also known as Latin-6. so if someone says Latin-6, they mean her. slay. ✨
