A full-scale wooden mock-up was part produced, but the project was terminated in favor of FCM F1 (a directly competing design, which proved to be superior).
The FCM 2C wasn't the first tank to have a stroboscopic cupola - it was the FCM 1A retrofitted with a cupola in 1919. The FCM Char de Bataille prototype of 1923 certainly had a stroboscopic cupola (Char Francais website) and in the US an experimental cupola fit was done on a Mark VIII (Hunnicutt's book on heavy tanks).
This template should only be used when it is necessary to clearly show what part of a glyph is surrounding whitespace, for very tiny glyphs, for when angle brackets are confusing (such as when the character is itself a bracket). This template is considered preferable to using {} or {} or quotation marks or any brackets other than angle brackets.
