    French has à, â, é, è, ê, ë, ï, ô, œ, but we don’t count them as extra letters. We should!

      I can see the first 8 being counted as just “letter with an accent”, but what about the last one? How can that not be its own letter? It’s a whole new symbol not found in the “base” alphabet ffs. You should definitely count at least that one - because size matters
