I'm one of the few people who still uses diacritical marks, such as with
coöperate, reënter, rôle, and other words with Olde English origins. The New
York Herald still used them into the late 1950s, and you can see the usage in
the facsimiles of Jack London's serialized stories from the San Francisco
Chronicle.
