Proper way to type French accents in HTML?

I have a general question about displaying French characters in HTML documents... I see other questions about people encountering problems or specific cases, but my question is just about the general approach:

Will putting <meta charset="UTF-8"> in the <head> of my document ensure that French accents, typed regularly (without using HTML entities), show up in all the main browsers?

You can use the ampersand code. For example: &ntilde; for a ñ ( n with tilde ). That is a spanish example, but you can look here for french ones: http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/web/codehtml.html#foreign
