I temporarily forgot the ideogrammically written languages, the other 
system. But are you saying that diacritical marks go with phonetically 
written languages? That makes sense--if you write a word without using a 
phonetic alphabet, then you don't have a way to spell the phonetic 
sounds of the word, you have a way to represent the idea of the word, in 
a stylized form.
