All vietnamese accentuated letters exist as precomposed in unicode.

The only latin-script based languages I know that use some accentuated
letters not existing in precomposed form in unicode are Guarani
(it uses "g with tilde") and Chechen (it uses several letters with
a dot above, some exist in precomposed, but others don't).

There may be others, but I only know about those two.

And no new diacriticized latin/cyrillic letter will be added to unicode
if he base letter and the composing accent are already there.
