In the Norwegian (a North Germanic language spoken mainly in Norway, where it is an official language) alphabet diacritic signs (é, è, ê, ó, ò, â, and ô) are not compulsory, but can be added to clarify the meaning of words (homonyms) that would otherwise be identical, with an example being ein gut ("a boy") versus éin gut ("one boy").
