There are actually two icons, one that currently says EN and one that depicts a keyboard, so I can swap between Canadian English and Canadian Multilingual Standard, which I think has the accents in different places than the standard French keyboard I get with FR. It’s possible that if you only selected one input language at configuration time that you don’t have this, and it seems to a rather persistent part of the install. I say this because during the install process some of the native apps didn’t pay attention to the “preferred language” and just picked anything I had.
