Hi,
Although that is not a common term in English since it does not use those marks except in imported words. The combination of a letter and its mark is often called an "accented" letter, although technically only the acute and grave are accents. Other diacritics include the umlaut, the breve, the cedilla and the tilde. Those are the only ones that come to mind right offhand, but it's been a few months since I last read a book on language and my memory isn't what it once was ;)
Oh, and BTW to whom it might concern. A-Z, a-z, and 0-9 are *also* ASCII. In the past I had passwords with things like backspace in them. Now I simply mix alpha numerics in two or more languages to make easy to remember, hard to guess phrases.
