Only if you are using a lousy keyboard layout for your language. I'm a native French speaker, and my layout (Bépo) let me type ÉÈÊÀÆŒ without having to remember any weird combination. I can't think of significant loss of information besides diacritics.

In English, it can make a big difference in meaning if something is a proper noun or not.
