Diacritic Mode
This controls how the Component will handle diacritic characters in French words for addresses located in Quebec. The default setting is for the Component to return data with diacritic characters if they were already present, otherwise not. The other settings are to always return data from Quebec addresses with diacritic characters, even if they were not present in the input data, or to always replace the diacritic characters if they were present in the input data.
