Very interesting. I should spend a few minutes reading about it, but: does that mean that accents do not actually have a utility in Esperanto, and that using ĝ or g in the same word does not create two different meanings? Is it just for pronunciation purposes?

Edit: The forum link that kissickas's posted answers my question :-) Thanks

No, the idea is that you write "gx" instead of "ĝ". The letters have a different meaning.

Ok I see. By "Nowadays, you can just type the actual letters, it's not a big deal.", I had understood that you could actually just use the normal letter and it would still be understood.
