The hard sound of "r" in spanish, although mostly writen "rr" is not writen double when a word stats with that sound, because all words starting with the character "r" use the hard sound. And as for the second question, there are two similar words in spanish: "carácter" and "caracter" the first refers to one's personality and the second to what is called "letteral" in lojban lingo.


You misunderstood my first question.  You spelled it as "repesentación", with no "r" after the "p".
Regarding the second question, my dictionary gives only "carácter" for both meanings, but it's from 1983, and, in any case, you are probably better informed about it than I am.
