that is in fact a very interesting list, although I guess this page[0] is a bit more useful, as it contains "what was invented by whom".

Personally I've always been fascinated by Spurius Carvilius Ruga[1], who invented the single letter "G" for the latin alphabet :)

Emperor Claudius (the successor to Caligula) invented three new letters for the Latin alphabet, but they didn't stick:

Sadly J must have not been invented yet since G suffered the same fate of overloading that its predecessor C did :(

J is in fact a much more recent invention than many of us would suppose[0]. It is worth adding, however, that it would not have saved G, except in English; our pronunciation of J, while close to the French and a couple others (with an added /d/ at the front), is quite unique among languages that were written in the Roman alphabet at the time.

In any case, English suffers quite a few more more overloaded consonants that C and G. Most occurrences of /z/ (a frequent sound in English) are marked with an S (codes), and a great many /t/ sounds are written D (typed).
