For example, when title-casing in French, you drop accents ("école" becomes
"Ecole").
This is off-topic but no, you don’t. Please, stop propagating this.
This is a common mistake introduced mostly during the typewriter era and
perpetuated by the (obvious, in my opinion) inadequacy of the AZERTY keyboard
layout and input methods for writing French. The Académie française is
unambiguously clear about accents on capital letters as are all serious French
typography guides.

(actually, the English article is a bit more explicit about the current state
of confusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalization#Accents).
