Not "La vie, c'est belle" ?

Make sure no French graffiti artists can get at it and change an 'e' to an 'n', so that your apothegm now reads, "La vin est belle".




To get accented characters, (assuming you are using a PC and Windows):

Follow the menu path, "Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", "Character Map";

On the Dialog box this throws up, select the font currently used by your browser;

Search along the characters until you find the accented character you want, highlight it, and click on the "Select" button.

You can then copy and paste from the "Characters to copy" edit control.


There is a word of caution here. Most fonts will have common ASCII and / or Unicode representation. This is not always the case, though. What might be an accented character on your screen might be a mathematical symbol or something else equally irrelevant on somebody else's if they are using a different font (especially if their native language and keyboard layout is not English).
