The easiest way to insert an accented letter is to copy and paste the letter you need from the list below. If you're using a Microsoft Office program (e.g., Word or PowerPoint), you can also use the "Alt Code" method.
Here is an explanation of how to insert the "e acute" symbol (é).
Click on the accented letter you need from the list below. Press the "Copy" button, and then paste the symbol into your document. Here is the é symbol as an example:
Every accented letter has an Alt Code. The Alt Code for "e acute" above is 233. If you have a keyboard with a numeric pad, you can use this method. Simply hold down the Alt key and type the number. When you lift the Alt key, the symbol appears. ("Num Lock" must be on.)
This video explains 7 ways to insert a special symbol into an MS Office application (e.g., Word) or a website using HTML, CSS, or JavaScript:
There are six more ways to get the accented letter you need. The other methods are a little more complicated and are typically used by programmers or graphic designers. Methods 3-8 are shown below the list of accented letters.
Click on an accented-letter symbol to copy it and to see its Alt Code, HTML Code, HTML Entity, CSS Code, Hex Code, Unicode, and formal name. Also, click on the link to learn more about the symbol or to create an image of the symbol.
