Yes but why? When you're returning a boolean concept, why not return a
boolean value? You don't even use values with one that
compares-as-true and the other that compares-as-false (for instance,
you could write the function so that it returns just the
diacritic-containing characters, meaning it'll return "" if there
aren't any). To what benefit?

Puzzled.
