You got that right! The correct way to correct spelling when you're writing something formal like a paper is with a
dictionary.
Man. If I were grading a paper where somebody was too lazy to look up a word they were uncertain of, but instead included a cute little diacritical mark to tell me they KNEW they were uncertain of that word, it'd mean lost points for sure.
