The Croatian digraphs only exist to allow 1-1 transliteration between
Cyrillic and Latin representations of the same text.

Spanish follows exactly the same rules. Lexicographic ordering problems
cannot be solved in general by introducing new characters, but require
other methods. See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10 .
