Use accents in en country names

[matthewmayer]

Currently country definitions only use ASCII

However a few countries are typically written with diacritics even in English, specifically

1. Aland Islands - Should be Åland Islands.
   2. Cote d’Ivoire - Should be Côte d’Ivoire.
   3. Curacao - Should be Curaçao.
   4. Reunion - Should be Réunion.
   5. Saint Barthelemy - Should be Saint Barthélemy.

I think including the accents is more likely to be helpful in rooting out bugs in code that wrongly assumes ASCII.

Thank you for your feature proposal.

We marked it as "waiting for user interest" for now to gather some feedback from our community:

• If you would like to see this feature be implemented, please react to the description with an up-vote (:+1:).
• If you have a suggestion or want to point out some special cases that need to be considered, please leave a comment, so we are aware about them.

We would also like to hear about other community members' use cases for the feature to give us a better understanding of their potential implicit or explicit requirements.

We will start the implementation based on:

• the number of votes (:+1:) and comments
• the relevance for the ecosystem
• availability of alternatives and workarounds
• and the complexity of the requested feature

We do this because:

• There are plenty of languages/countries out there and we would like to ensure that every method can cover all or almost all of them.
• Every feature we add to faker has "costs" associated to it:
  • initial costs: design, implementation, reviews, documentation
  • running costs: awareness of the feature itself, more complex module structure, increased bundle size, more work during refactors
