The French oe (o, e-dans-l'o) is not defined in the Latin1 encoding,
neither in capitals (as for titles or if the word "oeuf" [egg] is the
first of a sentence), nor in lowercase. You need UTF-8 for it,
No. Just latin9 or ISO8859-15 (Look at the header of this mail).
Mon cœur.
This is on a Mac with a German keyboard, but using actually an
American keyboard layout. I enter the "œ" with Alt-q (the "Alt"
key on Mac keyboard corresponds to the Modifier key on other
keyboards I believe).
$ echo $LANG
en_US.ISO8859-15

Good to know that the Euro sign wasn't the only "missing glyph" added in
ISO 8859-15.
There is an Alt key left of the spacebar on i86 machine's keyboards, but
I guess you mean the Alt-Gr which is right of the spacebar.
(Alt-something is used for menu shortcuts here.) AltGr-q gives me æ
(æ), with shift Æ (Æ).
I think I'm going to experiment with this AltGr key, apparently it gives
a lot of new characters not always mentioned on the keys; and different
ones depending on whether it is used alone or with Shift. [after trying]
I can't find œ, I will have to continue pasting it from Vim when I
want it in an email.
Best regards,
Tony.
