Czech HTML Entities

September 20th, 2004

If you were writing HTML and you wanted to add an accented character, you can use an HTML entity — é comes out as é, ô comes out as ô and ç comes out as ç. Hooray for French!

Unfortunately, some of the Czech letters live as second class citizens. Can you see all of the following: á�?�?éěíňóřšťúůýž? (Firefox users can. Sometimes.)

The deal is that ř doesn’t come out as ř as easily as I would like. I could fiddle with my browser language settings, but I know that you’re not going to.

Here’s how to count to ten in Czech:

jedna, dvě, tři, čtyři, pět, šest, sedm, osm, devět, deset

    Stop pushing your firewhatever on me!;) My IE works just fine and I could see every one of your characters. So there!:)

    Hmm…when did you start learning Czech?

    “Now you jest mosey on out of here with your newfangling fancy-dan web browser. Mine does what I say (more or less like), and I do what it says and we get on real fine.”

    Puh-lease. Switch.

    How will this new-found understanding of basic Czech mathematics and advanced browser theory help me with ruling the world?
