Generally speaking, no, not often. In some books I find quotations from other languages (mostly french or german), but as I never let a book loose without actually proofreading it from one end to the other, that rarely is a problem.

Café can be spelled both café and cafe in danish, and facade is spelled without the cedilla, naïve is naiv and so on - just to take your examples
But I'll definitely try \p{L}
