Desktop keyboards contain apostrophes, but smartphone keyboards generally don't. And one proposal (the best, IMHO) used digraphs rather than accented letters.

Desktop keyboards contain apostrophes, but smartphone keyboards generally don't. And one proposal (the best, IMHO) used digraphs rather than accented letters. This would work very nicely with computers, smart phones, Twitter, Google, etc.
- tlholaday 9y ago> ... digraphs ... I wonder who to credit for encouraging the English to use th instead of thorn. It turned out ok.
- gerdesj 9y agoTrue but we now have pretty much the world plus dog thinking that "Ye olde shoppe" sounds very different to "The old shop". Note that I did not put in a real thorn and instead substituted a Y. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)
