Well, there is something of an analogous issue now, namely that accented uppercase letters are infrequent enough that I can never remember the codes, and always have to look them up: while I'll never forget Alt+0233 for é, I had already forgotten Alt+0201 for É after looking it up yesterday.

That having been said, I certainly agree that "Égalité" looks better than "Egalité".

No need to remember them; just subtract 32.
