If you are really worried by the lack of the accent, why not just Cut and
Paste?

Souglas, I don't mind it at all, it just looks funny peculiar. It's a Danish
letter, also found in Swedish. We call Ĺ and ĺ an a with a bun, but it's
pronounced like a long o. Which reminds me the Danes have a funny name for
@. They call it 'snabel-a', i.e. an a with a trunk. An Icelandic actress
friend of mine moved to Sweden and changed the spelling of her first name so
the Swedes would at least pronounce it correctly. So Bára became Baura.
