restore accented characters #107

Description

@eshellman

The early gutenberg texts were produced in 7 bit ascii, so no unicode, no accented characters.

For example, https://github.com/GITenberg/Les-Mis-rables_135/master/book.asciidoc

We need to figure out a good way to re-accent the texts.

one way might be to produce a list of accented words by analyzing another version for example, https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/h/hugo/victor/lesmis/. short words like "à" could be combined with neighboring words.

@adius might have some ideas.
