To get extended European characters such as é è ù ß and Å to render properly in HTML, you need to represent them with extended HTML codes. Rather than relying on clunky look-up charts, create a simple sed script to do the hard work for you.
\nSave the two files below to \/boot\/home\/config\/bin<\/code>. To use the system, assume you have a text document called MyFile. Open a Terminal window in that file’s directory and type:<\/p>\n

convert MyFile<\/pre>\n
A second file will appear in the same directory, called MyFile.new. This second file will have all European extended characters replaced with their HTML equivalents. Now you can write J.L Gass&eacute;e in an HTML page without mispelling. \ud83d\ude42
\nHere are the two files you need to create:
\nSave this first one as \/boot\/home\/config\/bin\/convert<\/code>:
\n——————<\/p>\n
file=\"$*\"\nsed -f \"\/boot\/home\/config\/bin\/convhtml.sed\" $file > $file.new<\/pre>\n
——————
\nSave this second one as \/boot\/home\/config\/bin\/convhtml.sed<\/code> (note that
\nyou must be using a font capable of handling all extended characters in order
\nfor this to be displayed properly).
