Language and Usage
ã is used in Portuguese, Vietnamese, Guaraní, and phonetic notation. Example: São Paulo, amanhã. In Portuguese the tilde indicates nasalization rather than stress by itself.
Use the real Unicode character rather than an image or a visually similar substitute. That keeps search, sorting, copying, screen readers, and data exchange accurate.
