On Accents

If your entry in the TCS Virtual Address Book contains an accent, please use the proper html escape sequence. If you neglect to do this, the search engine will not work properly with your name, and as a result people will not be able to find your URL easily.

You will find below a list of accents with their corresponding html escape sequences. For example, to get the character u with an umlaut, "ü", type "ü". (Don't forget the ampersand at the beginning or the semicolon at the end of the escape sequence.) This table was modified for readability from an ISO Standard document.
