Erdoğan unbanned the letters Q, W and X, which can be used for Kurdish texts, in his 2013 reforms, so I think it’d be a bit too soon to re-ban them now already, so that’s probably not next.
I had to look this up, but it is a fact that certain letters were banned. I should not be so amazed. Back in the 1960’s the Greek junta banned the letter Z, because it meant ‘he is alive.’

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(1969_film) the movie is a fictional, but based on the actual events.
The one thing that amazed me was that it was Erdoğan of all people who eventually found it politically expedient to lift the ban.
