French characters are characters that are unique to the French language. Typically they involve adding extra symbols to letters that English users are familiar with; on occasion they alter letters slightly in addition to adding additional symbols. Here is a list of all the common characters (with both sets of ALT codes):
This is the most usefull :
à A with Accent Grave (ALT + 0224/133)
è E with Accent Grave (ALT + 0232/138)
é E with Accent Acute (ALT + 0233/130)
ê E with Accent Circumflex (ALT + 0234/136)

Yeah I know, but we are in the french part of the website, so I just wanted to help people who have that problem because it is a question that i can see a lot !
Grave and acute accents, the circumflex and cedilla are not unique to French, although the use of all of these in one language may be. The Vietnamese language uses many extra symbols added to letters that may well be unique.
