I'm not quite sure of the question. There are two possible answers:
(a) I used the English spelling because, so far as I am aware, the US
keyboard lacks CGJ. (I'm using a US keyboard layout so as to get
the keycaps engraved with Thai.)
(b) No, because 'Llangollen' doesn't contain the letter
'ng'. It's spelt 'll', 'a', 'n', 'g', 'o', 'll', 'e', 'n' (8 letters)
not 'll', 'a', 'ng', 'o', 'll', 'e', 'n' (7 letters). There are a very
few look-alikes, where one is spelt with 'ng' and the other with 'n',
'g'.
