Foreign accent I called cultivated (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cedilla

'foreign accent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i called cultivated' is the wordplay.
'cultivated' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'called'='icalled'
'icalled' anagrammed gives 'CEDILLA'.

(Other definitions for cedilla that I've seen before include "foreign accent" , "Diacritical mark" , "Sign to soften C" , "Mark, in foreign language" , "Mark under a consonant in French, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
