Store LocationsWhy Cafe & Café?
The main reason for having both Cafe & Café is very simple, you can not simply type "é", known as e-acute with a 101-key US traditional keyboard. You can however use the following method to produce an e-acute.
Windows users can type an "é" by holding the "Alt" key down and dialing either 130 or 0233 (on the numeric pad of the keyboard): alt + 130; alt + 0233. Windows users can type "È" by holding the "Alt" key down and dialing either 144 or 0201.
On US International and UK English keyboard layouts Windows users can more simply access the acute accent letter 'È' by holding down the "AltGR" key whilst typing the 'E' key on the keyboard. This method can also be applied to many other acute accented letters which do not appear on the standard US English keyboard layout.
In Microsoft Word, a user can press Ctrl + ' (apostrophe), then E for "é".
On Mac OS X a user can hold option and press e to get ´, then press e and they will get é.
In X Window using a compose key, a user can press the compose key followed by ' (apostrophe) and e (in either order) to get é.
To output an é in html you should use the html entity é
You may see there are several places where either one might be used, let us be honest, search engines do not like "e & e-acute" matching. So we have made it easier for you to find us on the internet by using "e". We hope that may answer any questions about the difference.
