Tieng Viet character reference post

My attempts to learn Tiếng Việt aren't going so well. One of the reasons, probably, is my inability to type. I don't have all the right characters. This post is an archive of all the non-English-standard characters I need. I'll add to it as I go.

Alt codes are included when I find them. Characters without an alt code can be C&P'ed. That's labor-intensive, but it'll have to do for now.
