The Royal Academy broke "ch" and "ll" up into separate letters a decade or so back. It had become accepted practice in dictionaries way before that. In Finnish, "v" and "w" are still ortographic variants of the same letter. In practice, Finns don't have a problem with computers insisting they are separate letters. While the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language has now accepted that "ñ" is an accented "n", no Finn would think that "ä" is an accented "a" any more than an English-speaker would think that "G" is an accented "C" (which it originally was).
