Intel is already using 18A (Angstrom).

It’s “18 Å”, not “18A” (which would be 18 Amperes). I would think that Intel would be keen to not be confused with either Ampere Computing or Nvidia’s Ampere GPU architecture.

People don't know how to type accents though.

It's dang easy on Mac. You just hit alt + the key it looks similar to.

Å = opt (AKA alt) + shift + a

How would I know in advance that this gives Å and not Æ or à or Ā or  or À or Á or Ä? And how would I type the other ones? Don't have a Mac, so I actually don't know how it is supposed to be done.

The same way you know in advance that CTRL+SHIFT+@ gives you Å in Windows?

Both Windows and Mac can display an on-screen keyboard that will display the character that will be output if you press a key along with modifier keys like CTRL or Option.

Doing that for all of a..z and A..Z gives
