Hello,
There are special digraphs in the Ossetic alphabet considered "letters". They are: Дз, Дж, Къ, Хъ, Пъ, Тъ, Цъ, Чъ. How can I make them appear in the categories? See: http://os.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:%D0%A6%C3%A6%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%82_%D0%98%... In this category we have two examples of misrepresenting: Хъæдгæрон under the letter "Х" (it should be under a digraph "Хъ") and Дзæуджыхъæу under the letter "Д" with Донифарс, though they start in different sounds/letters (Дз & Д).
How can I manage this situation? Maybe there is some fast'n'easy way to make those headlines "Дз", "Дж", etc.?
I know the problem will appear for many other languages too: e. g. in all the languages writing Cyrillic in the Caucasus they have digraphs (Къ, КI, etc.) and even trigraphs (Къу, etc.).

I am afraid these "minor" internationalization issues are still problematic in MediaWiki, so that this is impossible (unless there is a single Unicode character representing the whole digraph, which I suppose is not). See also http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164 for a related issue.
(We have this thing in the Czech language, too. We have a digraph "ch" which is considered a single character and should be sorted between h and i.)
