In Serbo-Croatian, the digraph is treated as a single letter, and therefore it has its own place in the alphabet (as the 20th letter, following N), takes up only one space in crossword puzzles, and is written in line in vertical text. However, it does not have its own key in standard computer keyboards as it is almost never represented by a single character.
