Ps: if you had actually read the WP page you linked:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fraktur#Fraktur_in_Unicode.de

You had found:

----------

In Unicode, Fraktur is treated as a font of the Latin alphabet, and is not encoded \
separately. The additional ligatures that are required for Fraktur fonts will not be \
encoded in Unicode.[6] Instead, Unicode proposes to deal with these ligatures using \
smart-font technologies such as OpenType, AAT or Graphite. There are many Fraktur \
fonts that do not use smart-font technologies, but use their own legacy encoding \
instead that is not compliant with Unicode.

There are Fraktur symbols in the Unicode blocks of mathematical alphanumeric symbols \
and letterlike symbols. However, these are meant to be used only in mathematics.[7] \
Therefore, letters such as ä, ö, ü, and ß, which are not used in mathematics, are \
excluded.

Thomas
