But, if it were intended for Spanish, then I would expect a few other
changes:
regular and inverted question marks and exclamation points (tho
this example has no question marks nor exclamation points at all)
a tilde that can be placed over some 'N's (overstrike?)
(ever see the CalTrans signs for "La Canada Road"?)
The single quote that is present could function of any needed
accent marks
I'm not so sure based on the wheel, though. My Spanish is second-hand but
I am not aware of any minimal pairs where the tilde is the only distinction
between two otherwise homonymous words. Accenture is definitely helpful
but not a dealbreaker (but as you note, the existing characters could be
mixed).
