This approach works perfectly for accented characters (at least in French), and also worked great to denote latin characters in Cyrillic, but I wonder how well that would work for more complex characters that cannot be represented with a single cell.
This is beyond the scope of this thread but I sometimes feel like it's time to add two more dots to displays for a total of ten: this would give us more flexibility to keep up with new Unicode characters.
