Learn the French Alt Codes


When working on a website in both French and English it helps to know your Alt codes for French characters. For this reason I would suggest memorizing the most used French alt codes. Using an article on practical cryptography on french letter frequency I determined that the top 6 characters (12 including capitals) make up approximately 95% of the frequency in written French. The chart below highlights the most used accent codes and also has the rest of them for your future reference. Hope this helps to shave some time off your workflow as it did mine.
