Those are not doubles, but single characters. The Welsh decided that instead of creating a special keyboard layout for typing in Welsh, they would use an English keyboard and the characters that don't exist in the English alphabet are represented by repeating ones that do exist. Of course it means that when non-Welsh people read them, they get the pronunciation completely wrong
(Actually invented in the early days of the printing press, long before keyboards existed.) |
