  Good old 'che' and 'elle', that used to confusd so many non-Spanish speakers when they looked up words in Spanish dictionaries before these letters were disolved into their constituent parts 'c', 'h' and 'l'. Of course, that was possible because they are not technically characters, but letters that were removed from the alphabet. Fun fact though, there is one character that was removed from the Spanish alphabet and the whole of Spanish orthography but remains in use in many others. Even better, this character actually originated in mediæval Spanish, so it could be argued that it wasn't removed: it was let loose! That character is the 'ç', which is now so closely associated to French, but remains in use in other close neighbours of Spanish such as Catalan and Portuguese and has been adapted for use in many other languages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ç https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ç
