A digraph, bigraph or digram is a pair of letters used to write one sound or a sequence of sounds that does not correspond to the written letters combined. This is often, but not necessarily, a sound which cannot be expressed using a single letter in the alphabet used for writing. Normally, the term "digraph" is reserved for graphemes whose pronunciation is always or nearly always the same.
Digraphs are two-character sequences used to enter single conceptual characters that cannot be entered from the computer keyboard for various reasons: obsolete keyboard, input of special characters is required, the text editor reserves some characters for special use, etc. Digraphs can also be used to extend the keyboard.
