dtgreene: Or alternatively, you take the next Unicode code point, which is Ϊ (uppercase) or ϊ (lowercase). (This is apparently an iota with two dots above it.)
Sorry, but that remains the letter ι, just noted as been a separate letter and not part of a two letter one (αι, ει, οι). So while αι is pronounced like ε, αϊ is pronounced as two distinct vowels.
Same as french accented letters, they don't count as additional letters of the alphabet.

Barefoot_Monkey: I agree. Everyone knows that the second letter of the alphabet is H

F4LL0UT: Dude, the second letter is C. How can you guys not remember it? It's so easy!

ACDC

Only after several Cs comes the first B or H or L.
No love for AZ/DZ?

Unlike the Swedish idiocy of å, ä, and ö, which do count as separate letters whereas é does not despite also actually being used in the language (example: our word for "idea" is "idé").

Unfortunately, there is now a 778th forum, so the time of lucky 7's has passed.
