Here are a few ways you can add accents using keyboard shortcuts and other on-screen tools.<\/p>\n<p>If you type regularly in a language other than English, you probably have this all worked out already. Perhaps you even use a specialized keyboard that makes typing letters with accent marks easier. But if you\u2019re typing primarily in English, there are still times you might need to type an accented letter. After all, English uses many words borrowed from other languages\u2014like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, jalape\u00f1o, doppelg\u00e4nger, and r\u00e9sum\u00e9, for example.<\/p>\n<p>And while we <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly just type those words without accents in English, sometimes it\u2019s nice to take the more formal <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach.

The \u201cSubset\u201d dropdown lets you jump to particular subsets of characters. In fact, if you scroll through the available characters, you can watch the Subset value change. For now, though, go ahead and choose \u201cLatin-1 Supplement\u201d from the \u201cSubset\u201d dropdown.

You\u2019ll use the Ctrl or Shift key along with the accent key on your keyboard, followed by a quick press of the letter.<\/p>\n<p>For example, to get the \u00e1 character, you\u2019d press Ctrl+\u2019 (apostrophe), release those keys, and then quickly press the A key. Note that if you want \u00c1 instead of \u00e1, you\u2019d have to enable caps lock <em>before <\/em>using the shortcut key, since using the Shift key would change the shortcut.<\/p>\n<p>There are too many to list in this article, but here are a few <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/en-us\/article\/keyboard-shortcuts-for-international-characters-108fa0c1-fb8e-4aae-9db1-d60407d13c35\">shortcut keys provided by Office Support<\/a> to get you started.<\/p>\n<table role=\"presentation\" style=\"width: 100%;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr bgcolor=\"FFDEAD\">\n<td width=\"285\"><strong><em>Symbol<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"376\"><strong><em>Code<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00e0, \u00e8, \u00ec, \u00f2, \u00f9<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"376\">Ctrl+` (<em>Accent Grave<\/em>), the letter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00c0, \u00c8, \u00cc, \u00d2, \u00d9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00e1, \u00e9, \u00ed, \u00f3, \u00fa<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"376\">Ctrl+\u2019 (<em>Apostrophe<\/em>), the letter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00c1, \u00c9, \u00cd, \u00d3, \u00da<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00e2, \u00ea, \u00ee, \u00f4, \u00fb<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"376\">Ctrl+Shift+^ (<em>Caret<\/em>), the letter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00c2, \u00ca, \u00ce, \u00d4, \u00db<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00e3, \u00f1, \u00f5<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"376\">Ctrl+Shift+~ (<em>Tilde<\/em>), the letter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00c3, \u00d1, \u00d5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00e4, \u00eb, \u00ef, \u00f6, \u00fc<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"2\" width=\"376\">Ctrl+Shift+: (<em>Colon<\/em>), the letter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"285\">\u00c4, \u00cb, \u00cf, \u00d6, \u00dc<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Insert_Accented_Characters_with_ASCII_Codes\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Insert Accented Characters with ASCII Codes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>And what use would we be if we didn\u2019t show you the geekiest way of all? If you\u2019re going to be using a lot of accented characters\u2014especially the same characters over and over\u2014it might be worth your time to learn a few ASCII codes.<\/p>\n<p>The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), is an encoding system that provides a way to represent certain characters using the respective code.\u00a0We won\u2019t be going over the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Ftheasciicode.com.ar%2F\">full list of ASCII codes<\/a>, as there are hundreds of characters and it\u2019s impossible to learn them all. Instead, we\u2019ll go through the basics and give you a few short codes to quickly take care of those foreign words with diacritics.<\/p>\n<p>To use this trick, you\u2019ll need a number pad (either as part of your main keyboard or as an add-on). You\u2019ll also need to make sure you\u2019ve enabled NumLock by pressing the NumLock key at the top-left corner of your number pad. Most keyboards have an indicator light to let you know when NumLock is enabled.<\/p>\n<p>To enter an ASCII code, all you have to do is hold down your Alt key while typing out a numeric code on your number pad.\u00a0For example, the code for a lowercase letter \u201ca\u201d with a grave accent is 133. So, you\u2019d hold down Alt, type 133, and then let go of the Alt key. As soon as you do, the character appears\u2014voil\u00e0!<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, it would be difficult to remember a ton of ASCII codes for different accented letters, but if you regularly use a few, it really simplifies the whole process.
