How to Add an Accented A Character to a Web Page

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Luis Estrada, and I am a software developer. In this clip, I will show you how to add an accented A character to a web page. There are many characters that are difficult to write in HTML; from Chinese or Japanese characters to Latin characters that include accented vowels. Many of the French and Spanish words include this type of vowels, so it is important to know how to properly display them on HTML. There are about six types of accented vowels specified in HTML; however, the two most common ones include the accent or acute, and the inverted accent or grave. If you want to write the A letter with an accent just write... or... for the inverted accent. In case you want the capital A write the same, but capitalize the A. That is... There is also a way to write the same using a numeric representation. In this case, you write #224 and 225 for the A character, or the 192 and 193 for the capital A. Since I told you that there are six different types of accents, and if the one you need isn't neither of these, try experimenting between the numbers 192 to 197, and 224 to 229. I am Luis Estrada, and I've just shown you how to create web pages using HTML."
