I see the same symbol as you see, but it is not "an accented o", it is a
Norwegian �. An � is not a funny looking O, it is a completely different
letter with a completely different sound, it just happens to look a
little bit like an O.

This symbol appears on my computer not at all.

I see a Y with a dot over it.

I have no idea either. All I know is that you shouldn't use those
characters to make ascii art! One reason is that different people will
see different things (if they see anything at all) when someobody uses
such characters. This depends on what kind of computer you have, what
program you use, what country you live in and if the wind comes from the
north.
