The following are not vowels.
The so-called OI is really a velar fricative; the OU-ligature is
historically so, but functions as [w] in the languages where it is used.
U+01A2 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OI
U+01A3 # LATIN SMALL LETTER OI
U+0222 # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER OU
U+0223 # LATIN SMALL LETTER OU
The following probably are vowels. AFAIK there are no instances of W or Y
with diacritics except in their vocalic uses (many languages for Y,
Welsh for W). This may not apply to the W and Y with dots above and
below, hook above, and ring above, the uses of which I don't know.
As for IJ, it's a Dutch diphthong.
