U+00C0 "À" Latin Capital Letter A with Grave Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
À
U+00C0 "À" Latin Capital Letter A with Grave is a precomposed character representing the letter "A" combined with a grave accent, often used in languages such as French, Italian, and Portuguese to indicate a specific pronunciation or stress, as in the French word "à" meaning "to" or "at." In digital text, it can be encoded directly as this single code point or composed using the base letter "A" (U+0041) followed by the combining grave accent (U+0300), though the precomposed form ensures consistent display across older systems. This character is part of the Latin-1 Supplement block in Unicode, which covers essential accented letters for Western European languages.
