Use of Sanskrit diacritical marks in article

I'm writing an article that uses a number of Sanskrit words. What does CC think about the use of diacritical marks for languages like Sanskrit? I could eliminate them all, but that would be less accurate.

It's certainly up to you, but they probably won't show correctly in the long summary.

Thanks, Ed. I was also concerned that the article would be rejected because of them. Maybe I'll just leave them out.

A writer using correct marks? No, I don't reject for that. :D

If you do add them, include something in the short summary about it - this could be a bonus for a buyer.
