I have problems with my ratings because of the accents. I thought it was because of me but I saw that other people had the same problem! Example : https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/sainte-crucienne-sombre-hro/189209/393536/

I just tried and it worked.
In one example I simply copied the accented letter from the beer name.
In the other example I used the ASCII codes by holding the ALT key while typing a numeric code on the number pad.

I presume that the problem is the compatibility of your keyboard.
Can you provide more details?
Do you use a phone or a computer?
On the computer, go to Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboard
Which keyboard is selected?

How do you do a superscript? Like "four-squared" or four-to-the-power-of-two, but written numerically.

I mostly look it up on google when I need it and then copy-paste it, because I alway forget the key combinations or the alt-codes, even for the euro symbol which I use quite often.

Which keyboard is selected?


Le clavier sélectionné est "Belge" (point). J’ai la possibilité d’ajouter "Belge" (virgule) ou "Français" (Belgique). Dois-je faire cela ?
Should I do this?

Sorry but my English is pretty rudimentary.
Thanks everybody

ardeo, yes please try with a different keyboard setting.
Can you also try to type ALT+0232? (but you need to use the numbers on the numeric pad, not the row of numbers above the letters)

yes, you can write in French here ;-)
Actually, apparently in the forum you can type the accents!
So, can you also try to just copy and paste your Forum text above into a rating?

And let me know how each test goes
