I'm thinking I should start introducing/referring to
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jwg as my fiance (and conversely, of course).
[Note: I really wanted to spell that with the accent, but PC-ignoramus that I am I can't figure/find out how to produce diacriticals. Any advice (for future reference) would be greatly appreciated.]

Date: 2003-12-01 01:51 am (UTC)The way I remember doing such things way back on my parents' 286 under DOS was to hold down the Alt key and then type in the decimal character code on the numeric keypad. (The regular number keys might also have worked; I don't recall, and that box is long dead.) Let's see... é is Unicode 0xE9, and I think the DOS/Windows charset is mostly ISO-Latin-1, so... Alt-(2-3-3). Assuming that feature still works.
The version you get by email is, I believe, the original text. The web-browser will process SGML ampersand-entities, obliging a literal ampersand to be escaped as & (i.e. [ampersand]amp;)
