Accented and special characters suitable for all browsers

In HTML, certain characters must be specially coded so that all browsers can understand them. This can apply to accented characters that occur in some languages.

For instance, a letter like the French "é", as in "Café", has to be coded as follows é.

Today, I went to an Internet Café.

Some examples of character references:

• é --> é
  
  
• è --> è
  
  
• ¨ --> ¨
  
  
• ^ --> ˆ
  
  

This also applies to the following special characters:

• (c) --> ©
  
  
• (r) --> ®
  
  
• ° --> °
  
  
• < --> &lt;
  
  
• > --> &gt;
  
  
• " --> &laquo;
  
  
• " --> &raquo;
