That would be interesting. BTW French <gg> in, e.g., <suggère>, is
confusing - how do you pronounce it? Is it [g] (to distinguish <g> = [Z])?

"I read that the only words where _à_ is used are _à là çà_, and _ù_ is used
*only* in the word _où_.  Is this correct?"

I've never seen any other such words. I'm sure there are so few homonyms
(does French have many?) - and it would be pretty easy to tell the
difference from context - that I don't see any point in using two extra
diacritics. Why not just write <a la sa ou>? (Another annoying part is <qu>
in, e.g., <quart> - <cart> is unambiguous; and so is <Fransais>.)
