Angstrom, being a word not in
common usage at all, should be written Ångström, in honor of Anders

spell his own name.
Angstrom is part of my everyday vocabulary, and that of many other
people.
As a personal name, it takes a diacritic not available in English; as a
term of
art in the metric system, it does not. Being so smart, you know this
already.
