How to type accents on any device
- Windows: hold Alt and type a code on the numeric keypad, like 0233 for é. Each letter page has its codes, and so does the full list of Alt codes.
- Mac: press and hold a letter key to open the accent menu, then click the letter or press its number. You can also type a dead key, like Option-N for a tilde, and then the letter.
- iPhone: touch and hold a letter, then slide to the accented one.
- Android (Gboard): touch and hold a key to see its accents.
- Outlook: Ctrl+' and then a vowel gives the acute accent (é); Ctrl+` the grave (è); Ctrl+Shift+^ the circumflex (ê); Ctrl+Shift+~ the tilde (ñ); and Ctrl+Shift+: the umlaut (ë).
- Microsoft Office: type the letter's code and press Alt+X:
00E9becomes é (not in PowerPoint).
Accents by language
One character or two?
é is a single character, U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE. Unicode can also build it from two: the plain letter e followed by U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT. Both forms are canonically equivalent, so they're meant to look and behave the same, but in code the first is one code point and the second is 2. That's why a character count can say 2 for something that looks like one letter.
Frequently asked questions
How do I type letters with accents on a keyboard?
On Windows, use the Alt codes on each letter's page; on a Mac, press and hold the letter; on a phone, touch and hold it. Or copy the letter from this page.
What is the accent on ñ called?
A tilde. Unicode names the letter LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE.
What's the difference between an umlaut and a diaeresis?
In Unicode they're the same mark, U+0308 COMBINING DIAERESIS, which Unicode's notes also call “umlaut”. German calls it an umlaut (ä ö ü); French calls it a tréma (ë ï ü ÿ).
