> No diacritics

An understandably naïve view of things whose errancy could easily be corrected through your coöperative perusal of The New Yorker.




To be fair, the original question was how to recognise English text, not how to recognise the archaic microcosm of English text that resides between the covers of The New Yorker.


Wouldn't it be cöoperative?


It wouldn't be. The goal is to separate the second o from the first, not to separate the o from the c:

The diaeresis indicates that a vowel should be pronounced apart from the letter that precedes it [1]

Oh, true. Naive should have tipped me off.
