Or you can select the Canadian keyboard on either PC or Mac: It retains the qwerty layout and makes accenting easier.

Est-ce vrai? Ch“teau.

Merde.

 

[Joe Dressner]

On a PC, I select the International US keyboard. Makes accents very simple. You find this under any Windows installation in the control panel under region and language.

 

[Steve Guattery]

OK, looks like you can get the symbol if you treat is as if you were typing math notation in HTML:

Enter the string â to get â

 

[Sharon Bowman]

Hot dââmn! Thanks, Steve.

I am going to go open a bottle of Mâcon, just for that.

 

[Unknown]

I have no trouble with any of this on my VAX supermini, via escape sequences.

That's what Claude had suggested, but the International option does not appear under Regional and Language Options in (my version of) Windows XP. Zimbabwe and Belize ara available, of course, but not International.

OK, first of all, I drove Carolyn and two other people back from College Park to the TenleyTown Metro, which is all any of them requested. Carolyn didn't tell me where she was going from there and thanked me as she left.

Second of all, since nobody reacted, congratulations to Carolyn who got tenure on Friday afternoon.

And third of all, I'll drink your Burgundy anytime.

Phew, all these exercises in creating accents is overwhelming me - I'm preoccupied with trying to learn my brand new car (no longer the good old days where all you needed to learn was how to operate the A/C and heat and where the headlight switch was) and my brain can't absorb this too.

And, Robert, please pass my congratulations on to Carolyn!

 

[SFJoe]

Heartiest congrats to Carolyn.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

Oswaldo, thank you for the concise guide.

How lame.

Pete's sincerity has long been a source of embarrassement for us, your majesty. Shall we throw him in the dungeon, or is watching reruns of Leave it to Beaver punishment enough?

I just thought he was saying that the lack of circumflex was lame. That is not 100% Pete's fault.

I know there aren't many drinkers of Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Batard-Montrachet hereabouts, but still, don't it rankle? "A" with hat! "A" with hat!

By the way, everything is Creasey's fault. Except when Waldo's to b-lÂme.

Hot damn, I found the umlaut button! I'm going to open a new tube of airplane glue! Not only can I now properly document the German wines I enjoy, but my newfound keyboard dexterity opens up a whole new window into namechecking my favorite metal bands, gröups like Motörhead, Gravewürm, Hangöver, Ampütator, Pöizen Böizen, Peter Brötzmann (kinda jazz-metal thöugh) and the ironically-named band known as Ümlaut.

-Eden (Spinal Tap is the only metal band I now of with a name that doesn't work properly, because technically, the umlaut is supposed to be over the 'n' but the computer won't let you umlautize a consonant. Göddämn fäscïst cömpütër röölëz!!!)

Expanding on this solution:

â or â gives â

&#ce2; or  gives Â

Do the sequences ALT+226 and ALT+194 not work with Microsoft systems?

It's just prejudice against Jacaltecs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-diaeresis

Argh, typo! The second line should have been as follows:

[maureen]

gee, when I saw there were new postings here, I naively thought they might be about Faiveley wines (thank god no accents or umläuts that name!).
