Latin Unicode Characters
The Latin script (ISO 15924 code Latn) is an official Unicode writing system defined in UAX #24.
Other Scripts:
Script vs. Block Distinction: In the Unicode Standard, a Script identifies a functional writing system and frequently spans multiple distinct blocks (e.g. Latin characters appear across 19 blocks). Conversely, a Block is merely a contiguous geometric range of code points that may contain characters belonging to different scripts.
Shared Characters in Script_Extensions (67)
These characters are functionally used with Latin, but their primary Unicode Script property is assigned to another writing system (such as Common or Inherited). In regular expressions, match both primary and shared characters using \p{scx=Latn}.
