Exactly, I would use an accent {la .=E8lbryxam.}. Non standard accents
are so rare, after all.

I understand that using uppercase is rooted to the times when 7bit
ASCII was the only available character set but I argue that is no
longer needed.

Unless, we take another way and say that the Lojban alphabet has bot
lower and uppercase letter, and that it happens that the lowercase "h"
is actually the uppercase apstrophe. We should also say that we only
have use for uppercase vowels (to mark the stress) but since we were
at that we added all the others.

In the meantime, I prefer to say that "lojban alphabet only uses (some
of the) roman lowercase letters plus the comma, the apostroph and the
dot". Non standard stress can be marked by any type of accent you have
at hand.
