[QUOTE="Gez, post: 809858, member: 1328"] We have a keyboard for that. On my AZERTY, the "à" key is the same as the 0. Without it, you may use Windows's charmap software. It's there, hidden in C:\Windows|System32. Adding it to the accessories in the start menu is one of the first thing I do when I install windows. This way you can copy/paste strange characters, and you also get a key combo for it. "à" is Alt-0224 (type 0224 with the numeric pad while holding the Alt key). Except the proper accent is à, not á. Yours actually don't exist in French. àéè. Plus the [i]circonflexes[/i] âêîôû and the [i]trémas[/i] ëï. Plus the [i]cédille[/i] ç and the compound letter œ, and you have all the funny French letters. German uses ß and the [i]ümlauts[/i] äöü but no other accents IIRC. Spanish has its tilde (ñ). In eastern European languages, you may find cedillas on t and z, and carons (inverted circs). In yet other funny languages, you also have bars (like ħ), double accents (like ő), and other wacky things like ŋ. While we're on that language topic, lol at toot suite. Phonetically, "toot sweet" would be better, although that sure looks weid. The proper writing is "tout de suite". And it means ASAP. [/QUOTE]
