Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum.

Why is it "l'île Hawaii" when yvonne wanted to know about Hawaii? Besides -- isn't Hawaii made up of many islands?

True = it's l'île Hawaii OR les îles Hawaii, depending upon whether you are speaking of the ONE island, Hawaii, or the group of islands, Hawaii being one of them.

I don't think i can read the accents, it comes out as funny symbols.

  P.S. As for the state of Hawaii, you will see "Hawaï" (Je vais à Hawaï.)
  
  As for accents, we can send you the chart if you let us know if you have MAC (easy) or PC (more difficult), Windows or not.

you mean it is "J'ai visit(e accent aigu) a (a accent grave) Hawai(i trema).

You use a(a accent grave) infront of Hawaii?
