The Letter "Yay" L̄ l̄
Spanish: LL (sounded like the English letter "Y") was once a distinct letter of the Spanish alphabet until 1994. A double "L" made it redundant.

Resurrection Idea: LETTER YAY: AN "L" MACRON to represent "LL" NOTE: The English "ll" blend will still be pronounced to sound like a long "L" and the Spanish "ll" blend might still be pronounced like a "Y" but with a slight "J" sound before it! If the L MACRON is used, then it must be pronounced like the Spanish "ll" sound.

The Letter "Ray" R̄ r̄

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.

The Letter "Way" W̄ w̄
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.

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!
Ñ0209ÑÑ Latin Capital EÑE or N with tilde
ñ0241ññ 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.
É0201ÉÉ Latin Capital EH or E with acute
é0233éé 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".
À0192ÀÀ Latin Capital AH or A with grave
à0224àà 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!

The Letter "Ghee" Ḡ ḡ

ḡ7713Latin 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".
Pʰ0080 (C)

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?
Wʰ0087 (C)
0688
Latin Capital WEE or W with small letter h on right
wʰ0119 (c)

The Letter "Eb" È è
New Letter Idea: LETTER EB: An "E" with a grave on top of it for words such as rèsumé vs. resume; rèad vs. read (r-ee-d), lèad vs. lead (l-ee-d), bèt, mèt, dècor, and other words to distinguish one word from another to clear up some of the confusion when two words with different meanings but the same base letters are used close to each other in sentences.
