I believe that de Gaulle was speaking of England, not of France.

Also, literary English uses the backwards accent on "e" in the past
participle ending "ed" to indicated that it is pronounced as a separate
syllable, not as a "d" added to the previous syllable. "Marke`d" would
be pronounced as /mark ed/ instead of as /markd/.  It may also be used
in other places.

I still see the double dot over the second "o" in co-op occasionally.

The "e" in the name of the city of Fremont, California, has an accent mark.
Yes, it's a Spanish name, but it's also the legal name of a town located in
a state which has adopted English as its official language (so it must be
English, right?).
