Description
I'm trying to use diacritics (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic), sometimes called accents, in document library column titles, site column names and site column choices. However, they eventually do not render correctly.
E.g.,
Get-PnPField | Where {$_.InternalName -eq "SiteColumn"} | Remove-PnPField -Force
Add-PnPField -DisplayName "Site Cólumn" -InternalName "SiteColumn" -Type Choice -Choices "á","ë","ò"
becomes column name
with choices
(I filed this bug originally against the PnP PowerShell module but based on the feedback I got it seems to be more appropriate here?)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Add-PnPField example with accented display names and choices, then trace how the PnP PowerShell module and PnP Framework handle those values. Done means diacritics render correctly in document library column titles, site column names, and site column choices.
