For reasons I have not investigated (and seem wrong to me) some of the
diagraphs have changed.
Use '!' instead of '`' for a grave accent.
Use '>' instead of '^' for a circonflex.
The others are still sensible.
BTW, isn't that (control-k letter accent) rather than (control-k accent
letter)?

"From earliest childhood to extreme old age, life is a long
apprenticeship. We learn to walk by repeated falls; we learn by
hard and repeated experiences to avoid heat, cold, hunger, thirst,
excesses. We complain that experience is a hard teacher; but if it
were not, we should never learn anything.
The same is true of the moral order. The awful consequences of
cruelty, injustice, terror, violence, fraud, and idleness, are
what teach us to be kind, just, brave, temperate, honest, and
industrious. Experience takes a long time; it will, indeed, always
be at work but it is effective.
Since such is man's nature, it is impossible not to recognize in
responsibility the mainspring of social progress. It is the
crucible of experience." -- Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850)
