Is there a consensus in France about showing, or not showing, accents on uppercase letters? Apart from the circumflex, which seems to be shown as a general rule, I don't see much consistency even where you would expect it, e.g. in road signs showing the names of towns.

I think the accents always appear in dictionaries that show the headwords in uppercase. But dictionaries are perhaps a special case, since exact spelling is part of their function.

This question has already been answered here, albeit in French. If you can't understand it and its answer, we will try to translate them. – Evpok Jan 12 '13 at 11:03

Don't worry, there is no need to delete it. It is not that it is unrelevant, only that it is a duplicate. – Evpok Jan 12 '13 at 11:07
