There have been 20 Genshin Impact Fontaine characters leaked, many of which will become playable in the 4.X updates. It is vital to mention that not all the units revealed thus far come from the region. The reason they're called "Fontaine characters" is merely because of their inclusion in the Fontaine leaks. Some release dates, Visions, and rarities have already been leaked for these upcoming units.
Note that everything that has been leaked in this article is subject to change. Most characters shown below are expected to appear in one of the 4.X patches as a playable unit or an NPC.

Note that 4.X merely means the character will be released in one of the Fontaine updates. Of the 20 characters leaked above, only 17 have been rumored to be playable. The others may only appear as NPCs, but there isn't much information regarding that as of this writing.
It is important to note that HutaoLover77's compilation of leaks stated that Wriothesley will be a Cryo Polearm user. However, leaker Mero says that Wriothesley is instead a Cryo Catalyst user, which is why the previous bullet point list refers to him as such.

The Genshin Impact leak tied to the 20 characters isn't the only rumor connected to future playable units. Uncle A has stated that Cloud Retainer, Madame Ping, and Guizhong will all be playable in a future patch. Cloud Retainer was leaked to be in Genshin Impact 4.4, but the other two characters have no known release date.
Whether they will be playable in a Fontaine update or not remains to be seen.
