For example, English characters do not contain the accented letters that are sometimes seen in words like résumé or naïve , because it is acceptable in common practice to spell those words without the accents.<br /><br />If your language has both upper and lowercase letters, only include the lowercase (and İ for Turkish and similar languages). |

Unlike the **minimal** or **additional** characters, it should have either uppercase or lowercase, depending on what is typical for your language (typically uppercase). |
