Using a diacritical accent is an interesting idea, but these accents are used to differenciate among grammatical categories and words from different roots, so no accent here.

By the way, fui can also mean "I was", sorry. wink

Thank you. For thirty years I've been writing "I went" with accented fui.

It would be nice, but, no, they both look the same.
