I have tried the html "à" but that doesn't seem to work in JOSM, although I haven't waited to see what that renders like. Guidance please?

The simplest way I know is to copy and paste it from somewhere else.
Either a character map or from a website like wikipedia or from here:
à

Otherwise in certain operating systems there are ways to type various
Unicode characters natively.
