Accents

Is it useful to add alternative accents? E.g. "something cafè;something café;something cafe"? I think no, but unsure. --Valeriobozz (talk) 11:13, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Not really, number of lookalikes is ridiculous. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack for very related topic. This is example of something that should be handled automatically by software, not manually for each object. Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 13:33, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
