Do Accents Work in Fancy Text? é, ç and ñ in Unicode Styles

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Yes, with a small catch. Fancy letters like 𝐀 or 𝓪 come from Unicode's math alphabets, which have no accented versions, so an é is built from a styled e plus a separate combining accent placed on top; ç and ñ work the same way. Most phones and apps draw it correctly, but in a few styles the accent can sit slightly to one side. Each accent also counts as an extra character, which matters for short limits such as some game nicknames, and screen readers may read styled text badly, so keep important words plain.
