The College of Arms -- or at least some of them -- use a
system for encoding accented and other special characters
using plain ASCII. I think most people call it the Da'ud system,
because Da'ud pretty much came up with it in this form
and promulgatyed it while he was Laurel. I don't
have time to go into it now, but it has things like
{e'} e with accent /-way
{o:} or {o"} o with umlaut (I don't recall which is "official")
{o/} o with / slash
{'e} e with \-way accent -- that's because forward and
backwards quotes, ' and `, are often hard to distinguish
in fonts in use.
{c,} c cedilla.
etc.
