Perhaps you are referring to the lack of letter š for Finnish. BTW, it also
lacks Ÿ for French. Thanks to euro, all this was fixed in ISO 8859-15:

        A4 € EURO SIGN
        A6 Š LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON
        A8 š LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON
        B4 Ž LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON
        B8 ž LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON
        BC Œ LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE
        BD œ LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE
        BE Ÿ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS
