No. Practically every LaTeX macro from standard packages supporting legacy font encodings, resulting in a character or accent/diacritic that has a Unicode code point, has a corresponding declaration in Xunicode, for backward compatibility reasons. There is no point in describing how these are used. That is the job of the legacy packages, and would result in hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of documentation that could never be definitive anyway.

The file xunicode.sty is a plain text file, with a History section. You can search for the Hex string of a specific character, to find whether it is implemented or not. This will find the name of the macro, and usually will locate other characters in the same Unicode block, or having similar functionality.
