JavaScript	`"\u00F2"`
URL encoded	`%C3%B2`
UTF-8 bytes	`C3 B2`

Method 2: Type it directly with UTF-8

If your page starts with <meta charset="utf-8"> and the file is saved as UTF-8, you can paste ò straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.

ò can also be written as o plus a combining mark. Both look the same but compare as different strings. In JavaScript, call str.normalize("NFC") before comparing or searching.

About the letter ò

ò is Unicode U+00F2, named LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH GRAVE. It is used in Italian, Catalan, Vietnamese, Mandarin Pinyin and Yoruba. A short line slanting down to the right. French uses it on à, è and ù, Italian on final stressed vowels (città), Catalan and Portuguese for vowel quality, and Vietnamese and Pinyin for a falling tone. See the ò character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

If you see Ã and other symbols, the file is UTF-8 but the browser reads it as Windows-1252. Add the meta charset tag.
Named entities are case sensitive: É and é are different letters.
In XML and XHTML only five named entities exist, so use numeric codes there.
