I suppose you can't go wrong with what your own passport says :-)

Some obligatory comments:

  * The -XX variants (Ñ → NXX (N) and Ü → UXX (UE)) can't be intended
    for human use.
  * Ŋ → N (shown there with lower-case ŋ – if the implication is that it
    can't occur word-initially, it's not stated and it's not clear all
    the other letters can) is surprising.
  * disallowed: Ä↛A , Ö↛O , Ü↛U (as are: Å↛A , Ø↛O)
