That's why I much prefer digraphs over diacritics. I prefer them over special symbols too. Maybe I'm just lazy. Urianian avoids digraphs because enough usual letters happened to be available and handy for the sounds to be represented, though z for /T/ is perhaps a little strange, but other strange uses for the z are known (like the German one for example), and c for /C/ is less strange.
