There is a specific Welsh character set in the ISO 2375 Register: ISO-IR 182, "Welsh variant of Latin Alphabet No.1 (right-hand part)", registered on 1994-03-16 and sponsored by British Standards Institution (BSI). The originators are: Welsh Joint Education Committee, Treforest, Mid-Glamorgan, CF37 5US, Wales. Hope this helps.
