Eric: I use the list of codes here: http://www.afgs.org/faccents.html plus a few that I've picked up elsewhere. They seem to work fine in Legacy.
The only problem I've found is with using them in proper names. I've found that many people omit diacriticals and that they aren't found in RootsWeb WorldConnect searches. As a result, I had to go back and add AKAs without the diacriticals and/or hyphens for hundreds of French names.

However, when I try to input them into Legacy, they don't show up. Is there any way of inputting the names so that the diacritics will show up, or does it just not work in Legacy? If they don't work, is it something that will be added in the future? Thanks!
