Examples

“These accent letter codes and punctuation codes are represented by two characters. The first character (called a signal) more or less modifies the second character. For example, ˜n represents the Spanish enyay.”

“Please⟳ try⟳ to stay⟳ away from some of those special characters (umlauts, hachas, enyays, etc), because they are 8-bit and non-standard.”

“I suppose⟳ it's intended to be used by people who are used to the US layout, but who want⟳ to be able to put⟳ a few types of accents onto a few vowels. There's upside down punctuation, no C cedille, no enyay. I don't _think⟳_ so anyway. It may be that ~N produces an enyay, in which case it would be just as annoying to use⟳ in the Unix world as one of the other national layouts.”

“Of course, Unicode supports the enyay—ñ—as a single encoded character, but there are many examples of language elements in, say⟳, Vietnamese, for which there are no single encoded characters in Unicode.”

“"No, no, no," I said, trilling my double⟳ r's and transforming all the n's with tildes into enyays, "I did not ask⟳ you what it cost⟳, I asked you what it was worth."”
