Accents in the title and description tags – SEO

In some languages we use accents and other special characters like ç… For instance to write à we use á When I write words with accents in the title and description meta tags, alt in the img and title in links what should I use?:

  • no accents: a
  • normal accents: à
  • the special character: á

I should think about what is correct with html and what is more useful for search engines and seo.

    In the <head> section of you HTML page, you can add:

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    to specify a characters set. If your special characters are encoded with UTF-8 (in this case), you are safe.

    They are all correct HTML.

    Only two are correct whatever human language (e.g. French) you are writing in.

    Search engines shouldn’t care about the difference between a literal and a character reference.
