L̄ | 0076 (L) 0772 | L̄ | Latin Capital YAY or L with macron |
l̄ | 0108 (l) 0772 | l̄ | Latin Lower YAY or L with macron |

rr | 0114 (r) 0114 (r) | rr | Latin Lower R Lower R Digraph |
Resurrection Idea: LETTER RAY: AN "R" MACRON to represent "RR" NOTE: The English "rr" blend will still be pronounced to sound like a long "r" and the Spanish "rr" blend might still be pronounced like a trilled (or rolling) "R". If the R MACRON is used, then it must be pronounced like a rolling Spanish "r" as intended. | |||
R̄ | 0082 (R) 0772 | R̄ | Latin Capital RAY or R with macron |
r̄ | 0114 (r) 0772 | r̄ | Latin Lower RAY or R with macron |

New Letter Idea: LETTER WAY: A "W" MACRON to represent "WW" NOTE: The English "ww" blend will still be pronounced to sound like a long "w" and but if the W MACRON is used, then it must be pronounced like a trilled (or rolling) "W". Since the Spanish Alphabet uses the singular "w" only in words of foreign origin, the Spanish Alphabet could adapt the new letter into new words or just use the trilling "ww" blend for new Spanish words. | |||
W̄ | 0087 (W) 0772 | W̄ | Latin Capital WAY or W with macron |
w̄ | 0119 (w) 0772 | w̄ | Latin Lower WAY or W with macron |
The Letter "EÑE" (en-nay) Ñ ñ | |||
Letter Idea: LETTER EÑE: An "N" TILDE to represent the "nee" sound This letter is part of the Spanish alphabet after the letter "N". This is regarded as a distinctive letter used to distinguish words such as Años from Anos. If you can pronounce the "ny" in "Canyon", or the "ni" in "Onion", then you can pronounce the letter "EÑE" as well. Imagine the words Cañon and Oñon to replace the respective "ny" and "ni" spellings! | |||
Ñ | 0209 | Ñ | Ñ Latin Capital EÑE or N with tilde |
ñ | 0241 | ñ | ñ Latin Lower EÑE or N with tilde |
The Letter "Eh" É é | |||
Letter Idea: LETTER EH: An "E" ACUTE to represent the "eh" sound This letter already exists in UNICODE, and since using this accented "e" helps to make words to be pronounced as they were intended, why not make it a legitimate letter in the alphabet? It's pronounced like an "ay" sound. | |||
É | 0201 | É | É Latin Capital EH or E with acute |
é | 0233 | é | é Latin Lower EH or E with acute |
The Letter "Ah" À à | |||
Letter Idea: LETTER AH: An "A" GRAVE to represent the "ah" sound This letter already exists in UNICODE, and since using this accented "a" helps to make words to be pronounced as they were intended, why not make it a legitimate letter in the alphabet? It's pronounced like an "ah" sound in words such as "à la carte" and "déjà vu". | |||
À | 0192 | À | À Latin Capital AH or A with grave |
à | 0224 | à | à Latin Lower AH or A with grave |
The Letter "Hay" J̄ j̄ | |||
New Letter Idea: LETTER HAY: A "J" MACRON to represent the "h" sound This is for making sure that certain names such as José get pronounced as intended with the "h" sound and the acute accented "e" (the letter "eh", which already exists as an accented character) so that when the "J" is replaced with a "J̄", it would look like this: J̄osé, and it won't be pronounced as "Johz", "Joze" or "Josie" by mistake! | |||
J̄ | 0074 (J) 0772 | J̄ | Latin Capital HAY or J with macron |
j̄ | 0106 (j) 0772 | j̄ | Latin Lower HAY or J with macron |

ḡ | 7713 | ḡ | Latin Lower GHEE or G with macron |
The Letter "Fee" Pʰ pʰ | |||
New Letter Idea: LETTER FEE: A "P" with a small letter "h" to the lower right to represent "PH" for words such as phone, phooey, and graph. The "ph" is the sound of the letter "f". | |||

pʰ | 0112 (c) 0688 | pʰ | Latin Lower FEE or P with small letter h on right |
The Letter "Thee" Tʰ tʰ | |||
New Letter Idea: LETTER THEE: A "T" with a small letter "h" to the lower right to represent "TH" for words such as thorn, think, and mammoth. | |||

tʰ | 0116 (c) 0688 | tʰ | Latin Lower THEE or T with small letter h on right |
The Letter "Wee" Wʰ wʰ | |||
New Letter Idea: LETTER WEE: A "W" with a small letter "h" to the lower right to represent "WH" for words such as wheel, when, and where. The "wh" is the sound of "hw" by pronouncing the "h" sound before the "w" sound. Weird, isn't it? | |||
Wʰ | 0087 (C) 0688 | Wʰ | Latin Capital WEE or W with small letter h on right |
wʰ | 0119 (c) 0688 | wʰ | Latin Lower WEE or W with small letter h on right |
