This is no different from Welsh:

All of those are considered "letters" in the Welsh alphabet. They are all "significant". But that doesn't mean that "ch" and "dd" get encoded as single entities. They write "c" + "h" and "d" + "d".
In Yoruba, you treat "gb" as a letter. That is fine. But you encode it with "g" + "b".
Isn't there something in the FAQ about this? We've been through the discussion of digraph (and trigraph and tetragraph) encoding several times, and generally confusion stems from not understanding that higher level protocols are expected to handle rendering and things like sorting and spellchecking.
