Good to know

Don’t mix it up: Often confused with À (U+00C0), whose grave accent slopes down to the right.

Tip: Spanish style requires accents on capital letters too; 'AREA' in a sign should be 'ÁREA'.

Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
