This is no different from Welsh:
A B C CH D DD E F FF G NG....
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".
