Pero or Pêro?
I noticed that the article uses "Pêro," while my book uses "Pero." The associated Portuguese article on the same subject spells his name without the chapeu, but the Spanish article spells it with one. Does anyone know why this article uses it? The article is about a Portuguese guy that accidentally went to Brazil. Why use the Spanish spelling?

The only reason that I'm not changing it is that the Spanish language doesn't normally use chapeus. Actually, I don't think it ever does, but I'm not certain

 * Yep, it is misspelled. It should be moved. 2804:14D:5C32:4673:B459:F341:1E7F:4B4F (talk) 06:23, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
