The Esperanto alphabet consists of 28 letters: the 26 letters of
the English alphabet, but with "q", "w", "x" and "y" removed, and
six accented letters added. The accented letters are "c", "g",
"h", "j", and "s" (each with a circumflex accent), and "u" (with
a breve accent). Since these accented letters are not included
in the ASCII character set, some other means must be used to
represent them. In this eBook, the accented letters are
represented using UTF-8 encoding.
