Yes they are.
And they differ from my previous test.
unicode-example-plane1.html
===========================
IE 6.0.2600.0000.xpclient.010817-1148:
- All characters are correctly displayed (as far as I can tell,
i. e. Etruscan and Gothic have the correct characters,
Deseret and Tengwar apparently have the correct script).
- The writing direction is alright.
Opera 6.0, Build 1010:
- All characters are correctly displayed (same proviso as above).
This works only when the font for "normal" Text is explicitely
set to Code2001, i. e., Opera apparently ignores the font-family
from the embedded CSS statements.
- Every single Etruscan word is (erroneously) written LTR, while
the overall writing direction in the Etruscan table cells is RTL.
I have tried various combinations of RLO/LRO characters, HTML Dir
attributes for the Td element, and CSS Dir attributes (as given in
the HTML source) -- to no avail. Apparently, Opera misinterprets
the RLO/LRO characters, and ignores the HTML, and CSS Dir attributes.
Netscape 6.2:
- All plane-1 characters are replaced with question marks.
- The RLO, and LRO, characters are replaced with question marks,
in a different (sans-serif) font.
- Unexpectedly, the MIDDLE DOT in the Etruscan×Name cell is also
replaced with a question mark! Even if you replace the "·"
NCR with a "·" entity, the MIDDLE DOT remains a question
mark. If you replace it with a B7 byte (MIDDLE DOT in ISO 8859-1),
however, it will be displayed as intended, in spite of the "char-
set=x-user-defined" specification.
- The general writing direction is alright.

IE 6.0.2600.0000.xpclient.010817-1148:
- All plane-1 characters are replaced with WHITE SQUARES.
- The writing direction is alright.
Opera 6.0, Build 1010:
- Etruscan and Gothic are correctly displayed;
Deseret and Tengwar are replaced with weird glyphs I do not
recognize.
- Every single Etruscan word is (erroneously) written LTR, while
the overall writing direction in the Etruscan table cells is RTL.
Netscape 6.2:
- All plane-1 characters are replaced with double question marks.
- The general writing direction is alright.
