In Microsoft Word and several Office applications, type 00E2 and press Alt + X. Word converts the hexadecimal Unicode value into â. Press Alt + X again to switch it back to the code.
How to Type â on a Mac

On phones and tablets, hold a related key to check for alternate characters; when the symbol is not offered, copy it from this page and paste it into the destination app.
Using â in HTML and CSS
UTF-8 pages can usually include the symbol directly. The named or numeric HTML references above are useful when source code clarity or encoding compatibility matters. In CSS generated content, use the CSS escape shown in the table, followed by a space when another hexadecimal character immediately follows it.
