Anne, as a native English-speaker, you don't have to remember that
many ASCII escape-sequences. But a few, nevertheless, come in handy
like � (½), @ (@), � (£) and a few more.
As a "foreigner" it is much harder, what with �,� and �, all the
French accents and so on.
So, when I write some html, I just type what I want in my own
charset and when done, I use the editors "search & replace".
Voil�. - Can be viewed correctly in any browser on the planet.
