One problem imo is that they mixed the terms up: "Grapheme: A minimally distinctive unit of writing in the context of a particular writing system." In linguistics a grapheme is not a single character like "á" or "g". It may also be a combination of characters like in English spelling <sh> ("s" + "h") that maps to a phoneme (e.g. ship, shut, shadow). In German this sound is written as <sch> as in "Schiff" (ship) (but not always, cf. "s" in "Stange").
Sorry, this should read "In linguistics a grapheme is not _necessarily_ _only_ a single character like "á" or "g"."
