Question

I'm starting to use latex, my code is

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[T1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\begin{document}
 Hello
\end{document}

The output is

Where is the problem ?

Since you are starting using LaTeX, please read some tutorial. — Martin Schröder, Mar 29 '14 at 14:36

According to the documentation, the inputenc package

allows the user to specify an input encoding (for example, ASCII, ISO Latin-1 or Macintosh) by saying:
\usepackage[encoding name]{inputenc}

The choices of encoding name are listed on pages 1-2 of the manual.

A typical italian preamble may instead be

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}

than followed by any

\begin{document}
 Hello
\end{document}

(first comment by Ian Thompson is definitely right).

...but I am sure that, by today, you've learnt better than me the difference between input encoding and font encoding.
