    À

    À, à (a-grave) is a letter of the Catalan, Emilian-Romagnol,


    French, Galician, Italian, Maltese, Occitan, Portuguese,
    Sardinian, Scottish Gaelic, Vietnamese, and Welsh languages
    consisting of the letter A of the ISO basic Latin alphabet and a
    grave accent. À is also used in Pinyin transliteration. In most
    languages, it represents the vowel a. This letter is also a letter in
    Taos to indicate a mid tone.

    When denoting quantity, à means "each": "5 apples à $1" (one


    Latin letter A with grave
    dollar each). That usage is based upon the French preposition à
    and has evolved into the at sign (@). Sometimes, it is part of a
    surname: Thomas à Kempis, Mary Anne à Beckett.
