::But this talk page is for [[WP:NCUE]], which doesn't use "glyph". Here "grapheme" is used. The relevant [[grapheme cluster]] concept is basically the smallest mouse-selectable thing. Each grapheme cluster contains at least one grapheme. Since I can select the "a" and "e" of "ae" individually, there must be 2 grapheme clusters so at least 2 graphemes. Therefore, "ae" is not an individual grapheme, while "æ" is.
::This is why "{{tq|graphemes such as ae and oe. By and large, Wikipedia uses œ and æ to represent the Old Norse}}" sounds wrong. It should be something like "graphemes such as <ins>the ligatures for</ins> ae and oe" or "graphemes such as æ and œ <ins>(modern oe and ae)</ins>".

== Reconsider this entire convention ==
This naming convention is just an excuse to be wrong about an article's name. Just because "reliable sources" type a name wrong doesn't mean it's the right name.
