Tip:

• A grapheme is anything that functions as a distinct unit within an orthography. A grapheme may be a single character, a multigraph, or a diacritic, but in all cases graphemes are defined in relation to the particular orthography.

https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?&cat_id=Glossary has more information.

• Avoid using archiphonemes that are uppercase equivalents of a character in the orthography if you use the Hermit Crab parser.
