Re: Accidental à in html ... how?

If there's a  in the HTML and it's displaying as Ã, that's due to
random interaction of which browser and various HTML settings.

Why do you care? Just have your colleague stop doing the wrong thing.
If you want to fix a problem file, open the HTML in a text editor,
search for Â, and replace it with ®
