Re: French accents

[Graham Norton]

Dear All,

The Unicodes are available from TeXShop > Edit > Special Characters  
(in MaC OS).

 Just select a character and let the mouse hover over it. (A total of  
2820 glyphs can be obtained this way.)

Here is a table of special French characters obtained in this way:

character       Unicode

é                       00E9

è                       00E8

ê                       00EA

î                       00EE

ç                       00E7

à                       00E0

ô                       00F4

For instance,

\markup{ \concat{ B  \char ##x00E9 caud } }

in lyrics gives Bécaud  in LilyPond output (from TeXShop input), as  
per the Notation Reference 3.3.3.

Incidentally, TeXShop produces this output even without changing  
TeXShop > Preferences > Encoding to UTF-8.

PS I think it would be useful if the doc in Notation Reference 3.3.3  
said something about how to obtain the unicodes (for users who are not  
using a UTF-8 supported edito)r.
